setuptools 82.0.0 (2026-02-08) removed pkg_resources, and the jproperties 2.1.2 sdist's setup.py uses it, so installing from source in a default isolated build now fails:
$ docker run --rm python:3.12 pip install --no-binary :all: jproperties
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
No code change is needed — the repo migrated to pyproject.toml in 2024, and I verified that current HEAD builds sdist+wheel cleanly in a python:3.12 container with current setuptools. A release of what's already on the default branch would resolve it.
Found while build-checking the top-5000 PyPI packages for setuptools-removal breakage.
