  <p>look at my "file.properties":</p>
  
  <pre><code>key1= My name is
  key2= ${key1} Martin !
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Why when I get the value of "key2" my result is "${key1} Martin !" unlike "My name is Martin !"</p>
  
  <p>=> I program in Java 6<br />
  => I use java.util.Properties</p>
