Answer 1

Properties prop = new Properties();

    try {
        prop.load(new FileInputStream("filename.properties"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

    // Write properties file.
    try {
        prop.store(new FileOutputStream("filename.properties"), null);
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

What your after is the file properties. You can access them like above.

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
