Subject: Re: RProperties 0.0.1 Released

You are completly right Peter!

But my intention to make rproperties is to mantain the java way and , with
this, convence more java users
here in brazil to migrate to ruby, and migrating , they will be completly
free to use the ruby ways and discover this wonderfull language , that i
prefer too! Peter , here in Brazil i am finding a hard resistence with the
java users to migrate to Ruby. I guess that in a group of 100 developers
here , 10 are tendencious to migrate to ruby,15 says that will take a look
but always says : tomorrow , tomorrow i'll see some and 75 just will change
when ruby pays more that java.
