" Vim syntax file

" =============================================================================

" Optional and tuning variables:

" jproperties_lines
" -----------------
"   Set a value for the sync block that we use to find long continuation lines
"   in properties; the value is already large - if you have larger continuation
"   sets you may need to increase it further - if not, and you find editing is
"   slow, reduce the value of jproperties_lines.
if !exists("jproperties_lines")
	let jproperties_lines = 256
endif

" jproperties_strict_syntax
" -------------------------
"   Most properties files assign values with "id=value" or "id:value".  But,
"   strictly, the Java properties parser also allows "id value", "id", and
"   even more bizarrely "=value", ":value", " value", and so on.  These latter
"   ones, however, are rarely used, if ever, and handling them in the high-
"   lighting can obscure errors in the more normal forms.  So, in practice
"   we take special efforts to pick out only "id=value" and "id:value" forms
"   by default.  If you want strict compliance, set jproperties_strict_syntax
"   to non-zero (and good luck).
if !exists("jproperties_strict_syntax")
	let jproperties_strict_syntax = 0
endif

" jproperties_show_messages
" -------------------------
"   If this properties file contains messages for use with MessageFormat,
"   setting a non-zero value will highlight them.  Messages are of the form
"   "{...}".  Highlighting doesn't go to the pains of picking apart what is
"   in the format itself - just the basics for now.
if !exists("jproperties_show_messages")
	let jproperties_show_messages = 0
