Class PropertyLoader

java.lang.Object

com.edgeti.Utils.PropertyLoader

public abstract class PropertyLoader
extends java.lang.Object

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 package 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
