Should I create additional configuration models or can I use a Properties object directly?
<p>I have a small Java application which uses some configuration settings, which are saved between sessions.</p>

<p>I started to create a Configuration class which provides the settings and can save and load itself to a Properties object.</p>

<p>But because it's a very small application with few settings I asked myself, if I just could use a Properties object directly. ("Just one more layer and the problem goes away" :) )</p>

<p>Is this good or bad practice? </p>
