How to use Java property files?

by

I have a list of key/value pairs of configuration values I want to store as Java property files, and later load and iterate through.

Questions:

  • Do I need to store the file in the same package as the class which will load them, or is there any specific location where it should be placed?
  • Does the file need to end in any specific extension or is .txt OK?
  • How can I load the file in the code
  • And how can I iterate through the values inside?
