Where to place .properties file? for ResourceBundle

jose luis romero

I had been trying to use a ResourceBundle object, but I can't figure it out where to place my rsc/language.properties
Plus I don't want to specify Location like "_en, en_US, _es", I just want to use it

I am doing this:

esourceBundle.getBundle("rsc/language");

that throws:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name rsc/language, locale en_US

Actually I have it in:
src/main/java/rsc/language.properties

I thought that because of what exception says I would be forced to add:
src/main/java/rsc/language_en.properties
src/main/java/rsc/language_en_US.properties
..but DIDN'T work either!

WHERE this/these files should be placed?

I had to remove the rsc/ path and created a folder in WEB-INF/classes/languange.properties

Place you properties files into Project/src/main/resources
and use maven-resources-plugin in pom file:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.7</version>
                <configuration>
                    <encoding>${project.encoding}</encoding>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

in java code just call

messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", getLocale());

Also worked and seems a better way than mine, thanks
