I noticed in Hatcher's properties.xml example file from Java Development with Ant that he puts a # in front of the comments? What is the reason for this? Thanks.

The reason is because those # marks were used to add annotations into the book itself. The Manning template for code annotations requires "# ..." marks beside code listings in (gasp) Microsoft Word.

These marks have no special meaning in properties XML files nor would I recommend you emulate that style.
