Answer 1

I just fought with this yesterday and today. I wish the availability of this was easier to find.

Grab the 'Pipeline Utility Steps' plugin.

Use the readProperties step.

 def props = readProperties  file: 'dir/my.properties'

One word of warning - what I expected to be booleans in the properties files were treated as strings.
