PropertyResourceBundle

Synopsis

This class is a concrete subclass of ResourceBundle. It reads a Properties file from a specified InputStream and implements the ResourceBundle API for looking up named resources from the resulting Properties object. A Properties file contains lines of the form:

                  name=value
               

Each such line defines a named property with the specified String value. Although you can instantiate a PropertyResourceBundle yourself, it is more common to simply define a Properties file and then allow ResourceBundle.getBundle( ) to look up that file and return the necessary PropertyResourceBundle object. See also Properties and ResourceBundle.
