eclipse create new .properties file

I need to create a new .properties file, when I create a new file then change its name to have .properties at the end it shows with a question mark next to the file. Any advice?

I assume that this questionmark comes from your revision control system. (like Subversion)

In that case you can open the context menu in that file and click Team/Add to repository.

Since your project is controlled by SVN, the question mark appears because it's a new file and it needs to be commited, so it's like an alert for the user to say hey, don't forget to commit this new file.

Don't worry about the mark, you can edit the file as long as you want.

When you commit the file to the repository, the mark will dissappear. Then, if you modify the file, an asterisk (*) mark will appear in the file saying hey, don't forget that I've been modified and you should commit me.
