How to open file with .PROPERTIES extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .PROPERTIES file? Do you want to convert a .PROPERTIES file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .PROPERTIES

Full Name Developer Category
Java Properties Format Sun Microsystems Settings Files
.PROPERTIES

The .PROPERTIES file type is an otherwise called a Java Resource Bundle File, which is mainly used in creating and storing configuration, resources, settings and information for Java applications. This type of file is largely responsible for the smooth functioning of all classes and modules a Java application requires in order to run properly. It’s a key part of the end-user experience.

Components of A.PROPERTIES file

.PROPERTIES File is simple text-based file with each line consisting of a key and value pair in name-value format. This file mainly contains an ordered list of configuration values that are officially HTML encoded. Generally, a PROPERTIES File includes a comment line or section as well as one ore more name-value pairs. All these values of the PROPERTIES file are used for a variety of applications for localization in different languages, solving logical problems and manipulation purposes, which includes Windows Operating Systems. The user defined properties are also stored using this file type.

Usage

.PROPERTIES files are specifically used in Java platforms, however other software programs provide resource bundles support as well such as .NET Framework. They can range from size to size depending on the size of the data stored in them. Often these files are mistakenly open using text editors such as NotePad which will result in erroneous syntax that will make it impossible for the application to read or interpret them without crashing. Such files should be opened using a specialized program such as Notepad++, in order to view its content correctly.

Similar File Types

Some common similar file extensions include .INI, .CFG, .PLIST, .XML, and .MNU.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PROPERTIES) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PROPERTIES extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PROPERTIES file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PROPERTIES extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PROPERTIES extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PROPERTIES file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PROPERTIES file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PROPERTIES file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PROPERTIES file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .PROPERTIES file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .PROPERTIES file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
