Description Muhammad Mousa CLA 2016-06-08 13:58:34 EDT 
There is no differentiation for LHS, RHS, and = in .properties files. For example, create a .properties file with this content:

bin.includes = META-INF/,\
               web/,\
               bundle.properties,\
               about.html
src.includes = web/,\
               about.html

All of the code is highlighted in the same colour (green). bin.includes and src.includes should be highlighted in different colours from the rest. = signs should also be highlighted differently.
