[TxMt] Language grammar problems

[Curt Sellmer]

I have the following language grammar defined for Java Properties files.
 This grammar works as expected in TM-1, however, there are two
separate problems when using this grammar with TM-2.

1.  The end capture for a 'Property Definition' does not properly skip a
newline preceded by a backslash and thus does not recognize continued lines.
2. The pattern '\{\d+\}' is not being recognized to set the
'entity.name.variable.java-props'
scope.  This pattern does match
properly in a simple grammar where it is the only pattern however.  (This
pattern is not part of java properties but I'm using the property files
to store strings that will be used with the java.text formatters.)

Perhaps there is a better way to describe this grammar, I'm no expert.  But
since it does work correctly in TM-1 I wanted to report it as potential
defects in TM-2.

Thanks,
Curt
