Java: Display a clearer message when properties files is not found

[agoncal]

To get the settings from a properties file, you use the following code

AzureOpenAISettings settings = AIProviderSettings.getAzureOpenAISettingsFromFile("conf.properties");

If something goes wrong the following message is displayed:

java.io.IOException: conf.properties not configured properly

Because the code swallows the exception, I had to debug the code of ClientSettings to see that the property file was not found (java.io.FileNotFoundException: /agoncal/agoncal-sample-semantic-kernel/conf.properties (No such file or directory)):

    protected String getSettingsValueFromFile(
            String settingsFile, String property, String clientSettingsId) throws IOException {
        File Settings = new File(settingsFile);

        try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(Settings.getAbsolutePath())) {
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.load(fis);

            return props.getProperty(getPropertyNameForClientId(clientSettingsId, property));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new IOException(settingsFile + " not configured properly");
        }
    }

It would be clearer, either if you display the exception message, or if you handle FileNotFoundException :

       // Display exception message
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new IOException(settingsFile + " not configured properly:" + e.getMessage());
        }

       // Handle FileNotFoundException
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            throw new FileNotFoundException(settingsFile + " not found");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new IOException(settingsFile + " not configured properly");
        }

Fixed by #2215

@agoncal we changed how settings are done. Let us know if this is still an issue, and if is, please reopen.
