      • loadProperties

        public static java.util.Properties loadProperties​(java.lang.String name,
                                                  java.lang.ClassLoader loader)
        Looks up a resource named 'name' in the classpath. The resource must map to a file with .properties extention. The name is assumed to be absolute and can use either "/" or "." for player segment separation with an optional leading "/" and optional ".properties" suffix. Thus, the following names refer to the same resource: 
         some.pkg.Resource
 some.pkg.Resource.properties
 some/pkg/Resource
 some/pkg/Resource.properties
 /some/pkg/Resource
 /some/pkg/Resource.properties
        Parameters:
        name - classpath resource name [may not be null]
        loader - classloader through which to load the resource [null is equivalent to the application loader]
        Returns:
        resource converted to java.util.Properties [may be null if the resource was not found and THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is false]
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the resource was not found and THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is true

        public static java.util.Properties loadProperties​(java.lang.String name)
        A convenience overload of loadProperties(String, ClassLoader) that uses the current thread's context classloader. A better strategy would be to use techniques shown in http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2003-06/01-qa-0606-load.html
        Parameters:
        name - of the property file
