Properties Object Nodes in the Explorer

The IDE displays all resource bundles as properties object nodes (Properties object node icon) in the Explorer. Each properties object node expands to reveal subnodes for each of its locales (Properties locale node icon) and keys (Properties keys node icon). You can view property information for any properties node by right-clicking the node and choosing Properties.

There are three ways to view and work with each of your properties objects, locales, and keys:

You can add a new locale to a properties bundle by right-clicking its properties object node and choosing Add Locale. You can add a new key and value pair to a locale by right-clicking its properties locale node and choosing Add Property. You can also cut, copy, and paste properties key nodes. When you paste a properties key into a different locale, you have the choice of pasting it with or without its original value.
