Properties files are very common in Java projects (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties)

Known limitations of my lexer:

  • Multi line entries with trailing backspaces won't be detected (I don't know your lexer syntax well enough to solve this)
  • key value entries without = and : won't be detected (I have never seen such entries in real life)

Fixes #615
