Create ResourceBundle dialog box

Use the Create ResourceBundle dialog box to specify the name of the localizable resource class (or property file) and the type of the ResourceBundle. This resource class collects special-purpose text strings in your project. One common use of ResourceBundles is to consolidate strings that appear in your application's UI for translation when preparing an application for international markets. Another use is for corporate environments where the SQL statement is the responsibility of the Database Adminstrator (DBA) and therefore, separated from the application.

The Create ResourceBundle dialog box opens when you do any of the following:

Select the OK button to have JBuilder create the ResourceBundle class (if it doesn't already exist) and add a new reference variable to that class. The ResourceBundle class may contain all the localizable strings in your project. Select Cancel if you do not want to create a new resource class.

By default, resource strings are stored in two separate resource classes:

Name

Specifies the name of the resource class or property file that will be created. This class will contain all strings in your application or applet that you have specified should be resourced.

Type

The type of ResourceBundle to extend. Valid values for this field are JavaSoft's ResourceBundle extensions:
