New method IPropertyGroupContainer.addPropertyGroup(IPropertyGroup)

As a developer of a plugin for IDz within my organization, I would like to have a method that allows me to add an instance of IPropertyGroup to a container. This method should be similar to the existing methods:

- [createPropertyGroup(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String description)](https://www.ibm.com/docs/api/v1/content/SSQ2R2_17.0/javadoc.com.ibm.ftt.api.resource.doc/reference/api/com/ibm/ftt/properties/IPropertyGroupContainer.html#createPropertyGroup-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-)
- [createPropertyGroup(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String description, java.lang.String applicationLanguage)](https://www.ibm.com/docs/api/v1/content/SSQ2R2_17.0/javadoc.com.ibm.ftt.api.resource.doc/reference/api/com/ibm/ftt/properties/IPropertyGroupContainer.html#createPropertyGroup-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-)

but, instead of creating a IPropertyGroup I can add an existing one.

    Thank you for submitting this Idea. Based on your description, it sounds like the functionality you're looking for might be aligned with void importPropertyGroups(java.io.InputStream input).

    Please let me know if I'm not following correctly.
