The tutorial does not discuss PropertyResourceBundle. I'm having a bit
of trouble understanding the source code. You are supposed to call the
constructor with a Reader type, but Readir is an abstract class, and the
user is supposed to implement certain methods. How can this be? How do I
tell propertyResourceBundle to read a file?
Do the names of the properties files have to conform to a certain
format, like blastlocale_en_GB.properties
How are characters outside the usual "printable" range represented? For
example how would a Hebrew letter be represented in the value of a key?
How are different encodings handled?
I want to encapsulate all the localization code within one package, so
the locale can be specified in a setup routine and when we want to
assign a string to a label or mesage we can just call a simple method
with the key. I know from experience that unless one gets in the habit
of using such a technique in the beginning it is very difficult to apply
it later.
