Comments in properties files are not associated with the right "element" in the file. Looking at the example below, an entry gets all the comments defined above it. Properties files should handle comments more carefully and not assign the initial comment to the first entry, but to the file. (if separated with an empty line)



# To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
# and open the template in the editor.

#First item
NewJFrame.jLabel8.text=jLabel8
#End of first item

#Second item
NewJFrame.jLabel10.text=jLabel10
#End of second item
