public class ResourceFileReader

extends java.lang.Object

This class is obsolete. Please use ResourceHash.fromFile() instead.
A class that reads specific resource files and stores the resources ito a ResourceHash for later use from inside the calling program. Should be useful for modifying the constants of the system without having to recompile.
A resource file looks like this:

 # comment line
 Resource1	valueofresource1
 Resource2    valueofresource2
 Resource3	" string value of resource 3 "
 

The values are treated as simple strings and the overall return should be a ResourceHash. The resourc hash provides good methods of handling the resource names. I wanted to separate the reading part from the real handler (the hash) in order not to overload the system with a big object.
