 public static boolean loadProperties(Properties properties,
                                      String name)
Load a Properties object from a file given its name. The search for the specified file is carried out on all the files and directories specified in the CLASSPATH environment variable (contents of the java system property "java.class.path"). The search is also done on the top level contents of ".zip" and ".jar" files. Finally the search stops after the first successful completion of the loading process; ie. after the first .properties file was found and was successfully used to load the specified properties.

Parameters:
properties - The java.util.Properties object to load.
name - The name of the properties file. If it does not end with the suffix ".properties" one will be added.
Returns:
True iff the properties object was loaded correctly
