Create Resource Bundle in the java code

This Example shows you how to create resource bundle. In the code given below we are create resource bundle for a locale.

Methods used in this example are described below :

ResourceBundle.getBundle() : ResourceBundle class object holds locale-specific objects. When a program needs a locale-specific resource on that time program can load locale from the resource bundle that is suitable for the current user's locale. Method getBundle() returns a ResourceBundle class object using the specified name and locale.

ResourceBundleExample.java




import java.util.*;



public class ResourceBundleExample {



  public static void main(String args[]) {

  try {

  Locale[] locales = new Locale[]{

  new Locale("fr", "FR"), new Locale("en", "IN")

  };

  ResourceBundle bundle = null;

  for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++) {

  bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Resource", locales[i]);



  System.out.println(locales[i].getDisplayName());

  System.out.println(bundle.getString("Hello"));

  System.out.println(bundle.getString("Goodbye")+"\n");

  }



  } catch (Exception e) {

  System.out.println(e);

  }

  }

}

Resource.java


import java.util.*;



public class Resource extends java.util.ResourceBundle {

  

  String keys = "Hello Goodbye";



  public Object handleGetObject(String key) {

  if (key.equals("Hello")) {

  return "Hello";

  }

  if (key.equals("Goodbye")) {

  return "Goodbye";

  }

  return null;

  }



  public Enumeration getKeys() {

  StringTokenizer key = new StringTokenizer(keys);

  return key;

  }

}

Resource_en_IN.java


import java.util.*;



public class Resource_en_IN extends Resource{



  public Object handleGetObject(String key) {

  if (key.equals("Goodbye")) return "Have a nice day ...";

 if (key.equals("Hello")) return "Hi, How are you ...";



  return null;

  }

}

Resource_fr_FR.java


import java.util.*;



public class Resource_fr_FR extends Resource{



  public Object handleGetObject(String key) {

  if (key.equals("Goodbye")) return "Au Revoir";

 if (key.equals("Hello")) return "Bonjour";



  return null;

Doesnt load

I copied exactly as you wrote it, give the files the same names, and I placed them in their own package, but gives me the following result: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name Resource, locale fr_FR BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
