/**
 * Manages properties for the entire Jive system. Properties are merely
 * pieces of information that need to be saved in between server restarts.
 * <p>
 * At the moment, properties are stored in a Java Properties file. In a version
 * of Jive coming soon, the properties file format will move to XML. XML
 * properties will allow hierarchical property structures which may mean the
 * API of this class will have to change.
 * <p>
 * Jive properties are only meant to be set and retrevied by core Jive classes.
 * Therefore, skin writers should probably ignore this class.
 * <p>
 * This class is implemented as a singleton since many classloaders seem to
 * take issue with doing classpath resource loading from a static context.
