Hi Lars,
Yes, I see your point, and maybe even YAML is too much. Having two leading
spaces could be too much to task.

Anyway, I thought I would at least suggest it, but if a plain old
properties file works, then lets not over-engineer it for the moment. I can
just possibly envision a situation where you would like to specify a lot
more in the properties file than just the database connection. But  that is
not the immediate concern of course.

Regards,
Jason
