> I've searched through the documentation and online with Google. The documentation for PropertiesConfiguration explains that it can parse files with '=' or ':' or ' ' as delimiters. I have a MANIFEST.MF file with the following format:
> {code:title=MANIFEST.MF|borderStyle=solid}
> Manifest-Version: 1.0
> Implementation-Title: webapp
> Implementation-Version: 0.0.1
> Created-By: Gradle 1.0-milestone-6
> Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_26
> {code}
> I've tried to use the PropertiesConfiguration to parse this file, assuming that the ' ' delimiter would be used to divide key-value pairs. Instead I get the following error:
> {code}
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key for add operation must be defined!
> 	at org.apache.commons.configuration.tree.DefaultExpressionEngine.prepareAdd(DefaultExpressionEngine.java:420)
> 	at org.apache.commons.configuration.HierarchicalConfiguration.addPropertyDirect(HierarchicalConfiguration.java:383)
> 	at org.apache.commons.configuration.AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration.addPropertyDirect(AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration.java:147)
> 	at org.apache.commons.configuration.AbstractConfiguration.addPropertyValues(AbstractConfiguration.java:423)
> 	at org.apache.commons.configuration.AbstractConfiguration.append(AbstractConfiguration.java:1271)
> {code}
> At the moment I've created a (very rough) custom PropertiesReader as suggested by the User Guide for handling "unconventional formats".
> {code}
> private static class ManifestPropertiesReader
>             extends PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesReader {
>     public ManifestPropertiesReader(final Reader in, final char delimiter) {
>         super(in, delimiter);
>     }
>     @Override
>     protected void parseProperty(final String line) {
>         final int pos = line.indexOf(':');
>         final String key = line.substring(0, pos).trim();
>         final String value = line.substring(pos + 1).trim();
>         initPropertyName(key);
>         initPropertyValue(value);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> And:
> {code}
> private static class ManifestIOFactory
>         extends PropertiesConfiguration.DefaultIOFactory {
>     /** Use a custom {@code PropertiesReader} for Manifest files. */
>     @Override
>     public PropertiesReader createPropertiesReader(final Reader in,
>             final char delimiter) {
>         return new ManifestPropertiesReader(in, delimiter);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> Should all this be necessary to parse MANIFEST.MF files or have I missed something?
