MissingResourceException when using a source folder [message #202503]

Hi,

I have been using resource bundles for a while to externalize strings in
my Java code. Recently I noticed a problem with using resource bundles
when I created a source folder in my Java Project and put my Java code
under that folder.

MyJavaProject
-- java (source folder)
-- x.y.z (Java package)
-- abc.java (the Java code that uses resource bundles)
-- etc
-- my_resource.properties

I have code like
"ResourceBundle res = ResourceBundle.getBundle("etc/my_resource");"
in "abc.java" and it throws a MissingResourceException at run time. I
checked what "new File(etc/my_resource.properties).exists()" returns, and
it returns true.

I don't have this problem when I don't use the source folder.

Could anybody tell me what I can do to solve this problem if I would like
to keep the source folder structure?

Thanks!

Heather

Problem solved. Basically the path for "MyJavaProject" needs to be
included in the project's build path and it can be done through defining a
classpath variable ("Window" -> "Preferences" -> "Java" -> "Classpath
Variables") and define the path in the project's build path using the new
variable.

Thanks,

Heather
