How to read a properties file in java in the original order

Viewed 42048

I need to read a properties file and generate a Properties class in Java. I do so by using:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream(args[0]));
for (Enumeration e = props.propertyNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
}

However, the properties returned by props.propertyName is not in the order of the original properties file. I understand that Properties are just old fashioned, non-generified Hashtables. I'm looking for a work around. Any idea? Thank you!
