Description Henrik Lindberg CLA 2010-02-05 21:37:43 EST 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #302017 +++

A basic implementation is checked in to trunk.

The oportunities to improve the implementation consists of:
- Refactoring PropertySet to make it possible to have a special class for the
properties loaded from file (the current serialization of the regular
BPropertySet will serialize the property operations "generated" from the file
:). The refactoring was a bit much to do as both default and regular
property sets should be loadable. 
- The implemntation uses the simple java Properties class, there are probably other
more advanced Property support somewhere in Eclipse land that should be used.
- Perhaps this is also a way to load "preferences" ?
- The loading of the file is done with the simplest URI.toURL().openStream()
call - this is not very robust.
