loadFromTemplatePath

protected internal Commons.Collections.ExtendedProperties loadFromTemplatePath(string propertiesFile)

Load a properties file from the templatePath defined in the generator. As the templatePath can contains multiple paths, it will cycle through them to find the file.

propertiesFile - the properties file to load. It must be a relative pathname.

a properties instance loaded with the properties from the file. If no file can be found it returns an empty instance.
