public class PropertyResourceBundle extends ResourceBundle
ResourceBundle that gets it
resources from a property file. This implies that the resources are
strings. For more information about resource bundles see the class
ResourceBundle.
You should not use this class directly, or subclass it, but you get
an object of this class automatically when you call
ResourceBundle.getBundle() and there is a properties
file.
If there is also a class for this resource and the same locale, the
class will be chosen. The properties file should have the name of the
resource bundle, appended with the locale (e.g. _de and the
extension .properties. The file should have the same format
as for Properties.load()
An example of a properties file for the german language is given
here. This extends the example given in ListResourceBundle.
Create a file MyResource_de.properties with the following contents
and put it in the CLASSPATH. (The char ä is the
german umlaut)

s3=3. März 96
s4=Die Diskette ''{1}'' enthält {0} in {2}.
s5=0
