title: Multiple properties files
body: <p>In a java application, I am using .properties file to access application related config properties.<br>
  For eg.<br>
  <code>AppConfig.properties</code> the contents of which are say,  </p>
  
  <pre><code>settings.user1.name=userone
  settings.user2.name=usertwo
  settings.user1.password=Passwrd1!
  settings.user2.password=Passwrd2!  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am accesing these properties through a java file - <code>AppConfiguration.java</code> like  </p>
  
  <pre><code>    private final Properties properties = new Properties();
      public AppConfiguration(){
          properties.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
                  .getResourceAsStream("AppConfig.properties"));
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, instead of keeping all the key-value properties in one file, I would like to divide them in few files(AppConfig1.properties, AppConfig2.properties, AppConfig3.properties etc.).<br>
  I would like to know if it is possible to load these multiple files simultaneously.  </p>
  
  <p>My question is not similar to - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4864804/multiple-properties-files-in-a-java-project">Multiple .properties files in a Java project</a></p>
  
  <p>Thank You.</p>
