70 * does not contain a property for a given key.
72 * An example of a properties file for the german language is given
73 * here. This extends the example given in ListResourceBundle.
74 * Create a file MyResource_de.properties with the following contents
75 * and put it in the CLASSPATH. (The character
76 * <code>\</code><code>u00e4</code> is the german umlaut)

96 * <p>Although this is a sub class of a hash table, you should never
97 * insert anything other than strings to this property, or several
98 * methods, that need string keys and values, will fail. To ensure
99 * this, you should use the <code>get/setProperty</code> method instead
100 * of <code>get/put</code>.
102 * Properties are saved in ISO 8859-1 encoding, using Unicode escapes with
103 * a single <code>u</code> for any character which cannot be represented.
