Class ListResourceBundle

A ListResouceBundle provides an easy way, to create your own resource bundle. It is an abstract class that you can subclass. You should then overwrite the getContents method, that provides a key/value list.

The key/value list is a two dimensional list of Object. The first dimension ranges over the resources. The second dimension ranges from zero (key) to one (value). The keys must be of type String, and they are case-sensitive. For example:

public class MyResources
  extends ListResourceBundle
{
  public Object[][] getContents()
  {
    return contents;
  }

  static final Object[][] contents =
  {
    // LOCALIZED STRINGS
    {"s1", "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0}."},  // MessageFormat pattern
    {"s2", "1"},                       // location of {0} in pattern
    {"s3", "My Disk"},                 // sample disk name
    {"s4", "no files"},                // first ChoiceFormat choice
    {"s5", "one file"},                // second ChoiceFormat choice
    {"s6", "{0,number} files"}         // third ChoiceFormat choice
    {"s7", "3 Mar 96"},                // sample date
    {"s8", new Dimension(1,5)}         // real object, not just string
    // END OF LOCALIZED MATERIAL
  };
}
