[PATCH] PropertyFile

 <<PropertyFile-patch.txt>>  <<propertyfile.html>> 
Included are a minor patch to the PropertyFile code and a documentation HTML
file.  The code has been modified to default to a "string" property if no
type is specified rather than error out.  It also uses the
Properties.store() method instead of the writing directly to the output
stream.  This is in preparation of a better implementation that would allow
for maintaining comments placed in a properties file.  I don't have the time
tonight to finish it.  Maybe tomorrow or Saturday.  The javadoc has been
completely revamped, however, and I think the Javadoc and HTML doc
improvements are worthwhile to be in the next build.

My plans:  allow for the retention of comments in the original properties
file
                 limit the propertyfile task to file and comment parameters
forcing the use of entry tags
                 allow for a srcfile and destfile parameter set (maybe
eliminating the comment change since that would be harder than
srcfile/destfile)
