java.util.PropertyResourceBundle (JDK 1.1)

This class is a concrete subclass of ResourceBundle. It reads a Properties file from a specified InputStream and implements the ResourceBundle API for looking up named resources from the resulting Properties object.

A Properties file contains lines of the form:

name=value 

Each such line defines a named property with the specified String value.

Although you can instantiate a PropertyResourceBundle yourself, it is more common to simply define a Properties file, and then allow ResourceBundle.getBundle() to look up that file and return the necessary PropertyResourceBundle object.

See also Properties and ResourceBundle.
