> Add a property with a value containing " (double quote character) and saving 
> it back to file will result in the value being modified and unecessary 
> escaping of the quote character.
> The reason is that PropertiesConfig calls into the 
> StringEscapeUtils#escapeJavaStyleString that escapes quotes. This is not 
> correct for propertiesfiles. 
> http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.Reader)
>  says "Escapes are not necessary for single and double quotes"
> Here is a test case:
> @Test
> public void shouldNotEscapeQuotesInTheResult() throws ConfigurationException, 
> IOException {
>     final String value = "-Djava.io.tmpdir=\"${TEST_TEMP_DIR}\"";
>     
>     PropertiesConfiguration testConfig = new PropertiesConfiguration();
>     testConfig.addProperty("testKey1", value);
>     File testFile = new File(tempTestDir.getPath() + 
> "\\prop-with-quotes.properties");
>     testConfig.save(testFile) ;
>     
>     String testFileContent = FileUtils.readFileToString(testFile);
>     
>     Assert.assertTrue(testFileContent.contains(value));
> }
