Reading and Writing a Properties File

// Read properties file. Properties properties = new Properties(); try { properties.load(new FileInputStream("filename.properties")); } catch (IOException e) { } // Write properties file. try { properties.store(new FileOutputStream("filename.properties"), null); } catch (IOException e) { }
Here is an example of the contents of a properties file:
# a comment ! a comment a = a string b = a string with escape sequences \t \n \r \\ \" \' \ (space) \u0123 c = a string with a continuation line \ continuation line d.e.f = another string

The problem with this code is that the streams are not closed after the properties are read or written
