Yesterday I filed a bug for Java 5.0. Bug ID#: 5102290 (requires login). Synopsis: Properties.storeToXML creates invalid XML if form-feed character present

There are a couple of new methods (storeToXML and loadFromXML) on the java.util.Properties object that allow you to export and load your properties files to and from an XML format. It's a simple format. Works like a champ. Well, it works until one of your keys and/or values contains a form-feed character (\f). So, even though the character gets written out as , this is an invalid character in XML 1.0. Try to read in that XML file you've just written and you'll get a nice exception from your XML parser.
