Question

I have a very simple properties file test I am trying to get working: (the following is TestProperties.java)

package com.example.test;  import java.util.ResourceBundle;  public class TestProperties {     public static void main(String[] args) {         ResourceBundle myResources =               ResourceBundle.getBundle('TestProperties');         for (String s : myResources.keySet())         {             System.out.println(s);         }     }  } 

and TestProperties.properties in the same directory:

something=this is something something.else=this is something else 

which I have also saved as TestProperties_en_US.properties

When I run TestProperties.java from Eclipse, it can’t find the properties file:

java.util.MissingResourceException:  Can't find bundle for base name TestProperties, locale en_US 

Am I doing something wrong?

Put it at the root level of one of your source paths, or fully qualify the resource name in the call to getBundle, e.g.

ResourceBundle myResources =           ResourceBundle.getBundle('com.example.test.TestProperties'); 

See the docs for ResourceBundle.getBundle(String, Locale, ClassLoader) for more information.
