[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-262) Binary property list format

["Sky Kelsey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15416208#comment-15416208 ] 

Sky Kelsey commented on CONFIGURATION-262:
------------------------------------------

This is a pretty annoying issue, but mostly it's annoying because it fails to modify binary plists silently. Can you please at least log an error when a plist can't be modified?

If you encounter this problem, you can convert your plist to XML format like this:

{{plutil -convert xml1 Info.plis}}

This utility is available on Mac OS X 10.2+

> With OS X 10.4 Apple introduced a variant of the plist format that is compressed using a binary format. That would be nice to support this format with a BinaryPropertyListConfiguration class.
> I haven't found the specification of this format. 
> The plutil tool can be used to convert between xml and binary plist files.
