I would like a library for either C++ or Java that can store and read configuration files and meet my following requirements:

For C++:
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, MAC OS, etc).
- On Windows, support Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
- Full unicode support (Can read and write text in configuration file in unicode format)
- Optional and not necessary: Support Xcode on MAC OS.

For Java:
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, MAC OS, etc). I know Java itself support cross-platform, but I just want to mention this.
- Full unicode support (Can read and write text in configuration file in unicode format)

Please do not introduce me the following libraries:
- libconfig (lack of Unicode support)

You no need to introduce me libraries for both language at the same time. If you know libraries for C++, just introduce libraries for C++. If you know libraries for Java, just introduce libraries for Java.

Java:
* Your best bet is to read and write good, old fashioned "property files":

C/C++
* Your best bet is to read/write a simple clear text UTF8 file:
FORMAT:
- name=value
- "#" is comment
- whitespace ignored

For either case, you might also consider an XML file (if, and only if, 2-D name/values isn't sufficient)

For Java, maybe consider Apache Commons Configuration
