How to load a resource bundle from a file resource in Java?

by

As long as you name your resource bundle files correctly (with a .properties extension), then this works:

File file = new File("C:\\temp");
URL[] urls = {file.toURI().toURL()};
ClassLoader loader = new URLClassLoader(urls);
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("myResource", Locale.getDefault(), loader);

where “c:\temp” is the external folder (NOT on the classpath) holding the property files, and “myResource” relates to myResource.properties, myResource_fr_FR.properties, etc.
