Hello List,

After ages of consternation with viewing Java Properties files that 

had multiline values in KVPs not properly syntax colored, I have 

created a better language grammar for Java Properties.

It does several things...

First it captures comments of course.

Then single-line KVPs

Then KVPs with dangling spaces or tabs between the key and the = sign. 

(These stand out awesomely during fast scrolling to find where they 

are and fix them)

Then multi-line-value KVPs.

One can never be 100% sure of these things, but I feel fairly 

confident with it because the multi-line-value KVPs I have dealt with 

are actually HTML emails stored in KVPs. :)

By the way, it looks best in Sunburst them.

Please consider it for inclusion.

If you submit a pull request for 
https://github.com/textmate/java.tmbundle I'll happily include it.

Thanks!

LD.
