Basic configuration class. Stores the configuration data but does not provide any load or save functions. If you want to load your Configuration from a file use PropertiesConfiguration or XmlConfiguration. This class extends normal Java properties by adding the possibility to use the same key many times concatenating the value strings instead of overwriting them.
