What is a Resource Bundle?
message = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle",
currentLocale);
A resource bundle is essentially one or more
Java "properties" files.
ResourceBundle objects contain locale-specific objects. You use ResourceBundle objects to isolate locale-sensitive data, such as translatable text. In the sample program the ResourceBundle is backed by the properties files that contain the message text we want to display.
Can you please clarify Resource bundle & Properties file..difference and usage.
