Creating a Properties File

When you use the New wizard to create a new properties file, the IDE creates one file for the default locale. You can then add specific properties and additional locales.

To create a properties file:

  1. In the Explorer, select the package in which you want to create the resource bundle.
  2. Choose File and choose New from the main window to open the New wizard.
  3. Expand the Other node, select Properties File, and click Next.
  4. In the Name field, type the file name. Then click Finish.

    A properties file is created with a .properties suffix. The Filesystems tab of the Explorer displays a properties object node (Properties Object Node) for the resource bundle with one locale subnode (Properties Locale Node) for the default locale.

To remove a properties file:

  1. Right-click the properties file in the Explorer and choose Delete.
  2. Click Yes in the verification dialog box to remove the file.
