 *  This class parses properties containing meta data information
 *  about classes. The syntax of the properties is the following:
 *  <ul> <li>
 *  the keys in the properties file are fully qualified classnames or
 *  fully qualified fieldnames
 *  </li> <li>
 *  a fields is separated by a classname with a hash mark ('#')
 *  (e.g. "test.Test#test1")
 *  </li> <li>
 *  all classnames are given in a natural form (e.g. "java.lang.Integer",
 *  "java.lang.Integer[][]", "int", "test.Test$Test1")
 *  </li> <li>
 *  property keys are classnames and fieldnames
 *  (e.g. "test.Test=...", "test.Test#field1=...") <br>
 *  </li> <li>
 *  Classnames can have the following attributes:
 *    <ul> <li>
 *  jdo:{persistent|transactional}
 *    </li> <li>
 *  super: <classname>
 *    </li> <li>
 *  access: {public|protected|package|private}
 *    </li> </ul> <li>
 *  Fieldnames can have the following attributes:
 *    <ul> <li>
 *  type:<type>
 *    </li> <li>
 *  access: {public|protected|package|private}
 *    </li> <li>
 *  jdo:{persistent|transactional|transient}
 *    </li> <li>
 *  annotation:{pk|dfg|mediated}
 *    </li> </ul>
 *  </li> <li>
 *  the names of the attributes can be ommitted: you can say <br>
 *  test.Test1#field1=jdo:persistent,type:java.lang.String,pk,... <br>
 *  or <br>
 *  test.Test1#field1=persistent,java.lang.String,pk,... <br>
 *  or <br>
 *  test.Test1#field1=jdo:persistent,java.lang.String,pk,... <br>
 *  </li> <li>
 *  in order to find fields of a class, a line for the class has to be
 *  specified in the properties: To find the field
 *  <code>test.Test1#field</code>, the keys <code>test.Test1</code> and
 *  <code>test.Test1#Field</code> have to be present.
 *  </li> </ul>
 *  This class is not thread safe.
