The Properties class is an old favorite, around since the beginning of Java programming time with very few changes. The Tiger release of J2SE enhances this class, which allows you not only to use it to specify key-value pairs on a single line separated by an equal sign, but also to use XML files to load and save those key-value pairs. In this installment of "Taming Tiger", John Zukowski demonstrates how to use this updated work horse. Read Taming Tiger: Loading Properties from XML here.
