How to reference resource bundle?

I am creating a Java GUI and want to use a resource bundle to store all of my sql queries in a .properties file. My class for loading the resource bundle is in a package in the src/main/java folder where the .properties file is in the src/main/resources folder:

I keep getting a missing resource exception. What am i missing?

Solution

  • Remove the .properties file extension to form a correct basename as indicated by the official ResourceBundle guide
