You can use the Apache Commons Configuration to write and read Properties files, specifically the setComment() function in a PropertiesConfigurationLayout which allows you to specify a comment for each property.

Note that above links refer to Commons Configuration v1.x, while v2.0 has been released in the meantime, which has different package names.
