properties file

HI

I tried to run the following code. But it gave the error message that

"Can't find bundle for base name MessageBundle, locale en_US"

import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;

public class MessageFormatDemo {

static void displayMessage(Locale currentLocale) {

System.out.println("currentLocale = " + currentLocale.toString());

System.out.println();

ResourceBundle messages =

ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessageBundle",currentLocale);

Object[] messageArguments = {

messages.getString("planet"),

new Integer(7),

new Date()

};

MessageFormat formatter = new MessageFormat("");

formatter.setLocale(currentLocale);

formatter.applyPattern(messages.getString("template"));

String output = formatter.format(messageArguments);

System.out.println(output);

}

static public void main(String[] args) {

displayMessage(new Locale("en", "US"));

System.out.println();

displayMessage(new Locale("de", "DE"));

}

}

properties file:

# MessageBundle.properties_en_US

planet = Mars

template = At {2,time,short} on {2,date,long}, we detected \

{1,number,integer} spaceships on the planet {0}.

Did you put the properties file in your classpath? It has to go in just the same location as a class of the same name would.

That doesn't excuse you from learning about classpaths.
