[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-515) Make private methods in PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesWriter protected

["Chris Seieroe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13511050#comment-13511050 ] 

Chris Seieroe commented on CONFIGURATION-515:
---------------------------------------------

For backwards compatibility with an existing config file, I don't want the values to be escaped. For my purposes, I don't know which would be best to override without playing around with it, but to be safe can we make escapeValue and handleBackslashs protected?

> I believe in version 1.7 the IOFactory was added to PropertiesConfiguration to make it easy to replace the reader and writer. The default reader, PropertiesReader, does not have any private methods. It has protected methods to set the property name, separator, and value. The same cannot be said for the writer, PropertiesWriter. It has private methods like escapeKey, escapeValue, handleBackslashs, and makeSingleLineValue. It makes extending this class difficult. Can those private methods be turned protected?
