When java writes a properties file, the following characters get escaped: =:!#
{ "Caution" => "=:!#" } will be written by Java as Caution=\=\:\!\#
In general, Java seems to simply omit single backslashes when parsing a properties file
Example: "Invalid=x\x" will be read as {"Invalid" => "xx" }
However this gem doesn't respect that. When reading the first properties file, it will become {"Caution" => "\=\:\!\#" }
Writing that again, it will become Caution=\\=\\:\\!\\#
