Question

Programming in Java, what’s the better way to create resource files to save the messages of the application in different languages?

If I use a properties file, inside the code everytime that I need refer to a message I have to write something like that:

ResourceBundle.getBundle("test.messages.messageFile").getString("Message1")

Exists another form to use messages and generate a code cleaner? Maybe create a class with static constants that refer to this messages?

Answer 1

you can use ResourceBundle, but declare it and use it as a variable.

ResourceBundle languageBundle=ResourceBundle.getbundle("test.messages.messageFile");

//later in your code you can say

languageBundle.getString("Message1");

it would help if you make this variable public static
