IIRC, look at Project Wonder's Excel Generator framework and you will find an example of where the developer (Anjo Krank if I'm not mistaken) reads in plist files for Excel cell styles.

(answering all at once) Yes, I knew about getprops and java
properties. The missing link was NSPropertyListSerialization as many
have pointed out. The trick is to get an easily readable configuration
file format that supports lists, and plist was what I was going for.
It appears from Art's comments that I can still achieve this with the
java properties file.

Thanks all around

If you need lists for a given key, then you need plists not the

Java properties file.

Because Java properties files contain key-value pairs of strings, and because plists have string representations, you can include a list as a value in a Java properties file:

foo=(bar, baz, bam)

     Then after the property's value is read in as a String, it can
be converted to an NSArray using

com.webobjects.foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListFro m
String
(plistString);

String representations of dictionary plists can also be included as values in properties files, but this gets more messy.

Aloha,
Art
