I am going to have a lot of String text in my application. Therefore i thought to have all these Strings in 1 class. So that it would be easy to go and modify a String if there’s a requirement to.

public class MyMessage {

static final String NAME = "JOE";
static final String AGE = "21";
......

}

And then access it in other classes like MyMessage.NAME and MyMessage.AGE.

1.) Is this approach correct ?

2.) I also found that, we could use property files to do so. Is this true? (And what is the best approach to do this property file or having static methods in a java class)

    Yes, you can use property files, and typically this is a better approach. Aside from anything else, this allows you to pick up different resources for different languages. See the documentation for ResourceBundle and PropertyResourceBundle for more information.

    You may still want to have a type to maintain the resource bundle keys, but personally I’d make that an enum rather than constants in a class.
