Editing Resource Bundles

A resource bundle stores selected characteristics of an object as key and value pairs in a set of properties (.properties) files. You can store a variety of characteristics in resource bundles, like localized strings or properties for an Ant script.

When used for internationalizing source code, resource bundles contain one properties file for each locale. The key is the name of the property and must be the same in each locale. The value is the localized string displayed by the object at runtime and can vary for each locale.

When you create a resource bundle in the IDE, a properties object node (Properties object node icon) is created in the Filesystems window. Each properties object node expands to reveal nodes for each of its locales (Properties locale node icon) and keys (Properties key node icon). You can modify a properties file by opening it in the Source Editor or by right-clicking its node in the Filesystems window and choosing commands from its contextual menu.

There are two ways of displaying a properties file:
