PropertiesLoader (rome 1.12.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.rometools.rome.io.impl.PropertiesLoader

```
public class PropertiesLoader
extends Object
```
Properties loader that aggregates a master properties file and several extra properties files, all from the current classpath.
The master properties file has to be in a distinct location than the extra properties files. First the master properties file is loaded, then all the extra properties files in their order of appearance in the classpath.
Current use cases (plugin manager for parsers/converters/generators for feeds and modules and date formats) assume properties are list of tokens, that why the only method to get property values is the getTokenizedProperty().
