This is small utility function in Scala, that takes fully qualified path of the properties file, and converts it into Map and returns. I use it for taking path of the properties file in my standalone Scala program and load it into Map
def getConfig(filePath: String)= {
Source.fromFile(filePath).getLines().filter(line => line.contains("=")).map{ line =>
println(line)
val tokens = line.split("=")
( tokens(0) -> tokens(1))
}.toMap
}
Once you have this method you can call it like this
getConfig(filePath)
