--------------------------------------
Actually, i just did a little investigating. It looks like the OpenJDK
version unfortunately won't be acceptable either (see
http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html#category-a for lists of licenses
whose source we can and can't incorporate), since it is under GPLv2. :(
Looks like it either has to be from Apache Harmony (whose SVN repo is baffling
to me) or else written from scratch. In the latter case, it might be prudent to
have you submit a CLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt). I know, i
don't think any sane person/corporation would really cause problems over this
one little method, but i'm no lawyer and would rather be safe than sorry. All
this is to say, that the easiest path is probably to find the relevant code in
Harmony. I might take a look for it at some point, if you don't get to it.
This would be a useful patch to have, and i do appreciate it!
It's a shame Sun didn't just make the method public or protected in the first
place...

> Project: Velocity Tools
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GenericTools
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Phil Cornelius
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: escape.patch
>
>
> Special escaping is required when writing keys and values into java
> properties files.
> I have simply taken the escaping routines from java.util.Properties in the
> private method saveConvert(String, boolean) and have added two new methods to
> propertyKey and propertyValue used in the same way as the other escaping
> routines.
> This is useful for example when trying to templatize an install path, say.
> Suppose I have a velocity variable available at runtime $INSTALL_PATH
> I could templatize the following properties thus.
