Oliver,
I did finally get the latest build, and it fixed the problem I
describe above. I believe there's still an issue with
PropertiesConfiguration(File), where if File(String) is only given the
relative path(i.e. just the filename) and the file is in the classpath,
it does not initially load it. It exhibits the same behavior as above;
properties are not available until the file has changed and been
reloaded.
Not a serious issue, as it's easier to use
PropertiesConfiguration(String) in this case, but perhaps an issue
nonetheless.
Thanks,
Cory
