Resource (Java)
In the
Java programming language a
resource is a piece of data than can be accessed relative to the code of an
application.An application can access its resources through
Uniform Resource Locators, like
web resources, but theresources are usually contained within the
JAR file(s) of the application.
A
resource bundle is a set of key and value pairs, stored as a resource, that is commonly used to allow the
localization of an application. For this purpose different resource bundles with acommon set of keys are used to store translations for the messages and
user interface texts of an application.
