ResourceBundle example not working

java, resourcebundle

Solution

The stack trace shows that the class is in the package `learningjava4`. And you're telling us that the bundle class/files are in the same package. So the bundle base name is `learningjava4.Message`, not `Message`.

Problem

I'm trying the example of "Learning Java" about RersourceBundles. I'm using Windows 7 and NetBeans The code of the sample is: ``` import java.util.*; public class Hello { public static void main(String[] args) { ResourceBundle bun; bun = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Message", Locale.ITALY); System.out.println(bun.getString("HelloMessage")); bun = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Message", Locale.US); System.out.println(bun.getString("HelloMessage")); } } ``` If I run the code I get: Exception in thread "main" java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name Message, locale it_IT at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:1499) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:1322) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:795) at learningjava4.Hello.main(Hello.java:14) Java Result: 1 Even if I wrote and save ``` import java.util.*; public class Message_it_IT extends ListResourceBundle { public Object[][] getContents() { return contents; } static final Object[][] contents = { {"HelloMessage", "Buon giorno, world!"}, {"OtherMessage", "Ciao."}, }; } ``` I still had the same error. The file Message_it_IT was saved on the same directory of the other one, what is wrong? Thanks
