Well, you can read a properties file with a ResourceBundle... Or you can use the Properties class.Or you can use a FileReader. read the API docs for them.

I always used ResourcedBundle to read *.properties like that:

ResourceBundle.getBundle("filename");

to get properties from "filename.properties".

the javadoc of ResourceBundle mentions "...PropertyResourceBundle uses a properties file to manage its resources...." so also have a look at the javadoc of PropertyResourceBundle.

The biggest difference between a plain old Properties file and a ResourceBundle is that you can more easily deal with different Locales (so have different language) with ResourceBundles.

Take a look at the Internationalization tutorial found here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html
