Here 's some code that might give you ideas .

With the JDK1.1.6, the Properties.load  is able to read file of the type :

propertyName=  propertyValue
propertyName1=  propertyValue1
....

on both mac and PC (ie  the end of line can be \n or \r or both).

No method has been deprecated, but I haven't checked the implementation
changes.

Of course it is not as structured as an INI  file (ie no section).

But maybe you can reuse and modify the existing  (java) code ( I' d be
interested if you do it).

The save method uses the \n as end line wich read ok on PC though it is on
one line. I haven't tested it on mac, as I only need reading for the moment.
In the  same line of idea it is probably easy to extend Property to use a
 system dependant) String getEndOfLineString().

Let me know if you do.

I know properties should be serialized and unicode is better  than character
set ( haa yes accent are not the same in Mac and PC, this is another
limitation of the above method), but for the moment, I have written nor
found a Property editor, nor a unicode file editor.
