/**
 *
 * Resource bundles contain locale-specific objects.
 * When your program needs a locale-specific resource,
 * a <code>String</code> for example, your program can load it
 * from the resource bundle that is appropriate for the
 * current user's locale. In this way, you can write
 * program code that is largely independent of the user's
 * locale isolating most, if not all, of the locale-specific
 * information in resource bundles.
 *
 * <p>
 * This allows you to write programs that can:
 * <UL type=SQUARE>
 * <LI> be easily localized, or translated, into different languages
 * <LI> handle multiple locales at once
 * <LI> be easily modified later to support even more locales
 * </UL>
 *
 * <P>
 * Resource bundles belong to families whose members share a common base 
 * name, but whose names also have additional components that identify 
 * their locales. For example, the base name of a family of resource 
 * bundles might be "MyResources". The family should have a default 
 * resource bundle which simply has the same name as its family - 
 * "MyResources" - and will be used as the bundle of last resort if a
 * specific locale is not supported. The family can then provide as
 * many locale-specific members as needed, for example a German one
 * named "MyResources_de".
 *
 * <P>
 * Each resource bundle in a family contains the same items, but the items have
 * been translated for the locale represented by that resource bundle.
 * For example, both "MyResources" and "MyResources_de" may have a
 * <code>String</code> that's used on a button for canceling operations.
 * In "MyResources" the <code>String</code> may contain "Cancel" and in
 * "MyResources_de" it may contain "Abbrechen".
 *
 * <P>
 * If there are different resources for different countries, you
 * can make specializations: for example, "MyResources_de_CH" contains objects for
 * the German language (de) in Switzerland (CH). If you want to only
 * modify some of the resources
 * in the specialization, you can do so.
 *
 * <P>
 * When your program needs a locale-specific object, it loads
 * the <code>ResourceBundle</code> class using the
 * {@link #getBundle(java.lang.String, java.util.Locale) getBundle}
 * method:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * ResourceBundle myResources =
 *      ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyResources", currentLocale);
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <P>
 * Resource bundles contain key/value pairs. The keys uniquely
 * identify a locale-specific object in the bundle. Here's an
 * example of a <code>ListResourceBundle</code> that contains
 * two key/value pairs:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public class MyResources extends ListResourceBundle {
 *      public Object[][] getContents() {
 *              return contents;
 *      }
 *      static final Object[][] contents = {
 *      // LOCALIZE THIS
 *              {"OkKey", "OK"},
 *              {"CancelKey", "Cancel"},
 *      // END OF MATERIAL TO LOCALIZE
 *      };
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * Keys are always <code>String</code>s.
 * In this example, the keys are "OkKey" and "CancelKey".
 * In the above example, the values
 * are also <code>String</code>s--"OK" and "Cancel"--but
 * they don't have to be. The values can be any type of object.
 *
 * <P>
 * You retrieve an object from resource bundle using the appropriate
 * getter method. Because "OkKey" and "CancelKey"
 * are both strings, you would use <code>getString</code> to retrieve them:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * button1 = new Button(myResources.getString("OkKey"));
 * button2 = new Button(myResources.getString("CancelKey"));
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * The getter methods all require the key as an argument and return
 * the object if found. If the object is not found, the getter method
 * throws a <code>MissingResourceException</code>.
 *
 * <P>
 * Besides <code>getString</code>, ResourceBundle also provides
 * a method for getting string arrays, <code>getStringArray</code>,
 * as well as a generic <code>getObject</code> method for any other
 * type of object. When using <code>getObject</code>, you'll
 * have to cast the result to the appropriate type. For example:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * int[] myIntegers = (int[]) myResources.getObject("intList");
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <P>
 * The Java 2 platform provides two subclasses of <code>ResourceBundle</code>,
 * <code>ListResourceBundle</code> and <code>PropertyResourceBundle</code>,
 * that provide a fairly simple way to create resources.
 * As you saw briefly in a previous example, <code>ListResourceBundle</code>
 * manages its resource as a List of key/value pairs.
 * <code>PropertyResourceBundle</code> uses a properties file to manage
 * its resources.
 *
 * <p>
 * If <code>ListResourceBundle</code> or <code>PropertyResourceBundle</code>
 * do not suit your needs, you can write your own <code>ResourceBundle</code>
 * subclass.  Your subclasses must override two methods: <code>handleGetObject</code>
 * and <code>getKeys()</code>.
 *
 * <P>
 * The following is a very simple example of a <code>ResourceBundle</code>
 * subclass, MyResources, that manages two resources (for a larger number of
 * resources you would probably use a <code>Hashtable</code>).
 * Notice that you don't need to supply a value if 
 * a "parent-level" <code>ResourceBundle</code> handles the same
 * key with the same value (as for the okKey below).
 * <p><strong>Example:</strong>
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * // default (English language, United States)
 * public class MyResources extends ResourceBundle {
 *     public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
 *         if (key.equals("okKey")) return "Ok";
 *         if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Cancel";
 *         return null;
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * // German language
 * public class MyResources_de extends MyResources {
 *     public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
 *         // don't need okKey, since parent level handles it.
 *         if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Abbrechen";
 *         return null;
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * You do not have to restrict yourself to using a single family of
 * <code>ResourceBundle</code>s. For example, you could have a set of bundles for
 * exception messages, <code>ExceptionResources</code>
 * (<code>ExceptionResources_fr</code>, <code>ExceptionResources_de</code>, ...),
 * and one for widgets, <code>WidgetResource</code> (<code>WidgetResources_fr</code>,
 * <code>WidgetResources_de</code>, ...); breaking up the resources however you like.

 * @see PropertyResourceBundle

    /**
     * Gets a resource bundle using the specified base name, locale, and class loader.
     *
     * <p>
     * Conceptually, <code>getBundle</code> uses the following strategy for locating and instantiating
     * resource bundles:
     * <p>
     * <code>getBundle</code> uses the base name, the specified locale, and the default
     * locale (obtained from {@link java.util.Locale#getDefault() Locale.getDefault})
     * to generate a sequence of <em>candidate bundle names</em>.
     * If the specified locale's language, country, and variant are all empty
     * strings, then the base name is the only candidate bundle name.
     * Otherwise, the following sequence is generated from the attribute
     * values of the specified locale (language1, country1, and variant1)
     * and of the default locale (language2, country2, and variant2):
     * <ul>
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 + "_" + variant1
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language1
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2 + "_" + variant2
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2
     * <li> baseName + "_" + language2
     * <li> baseName
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * Candidate bundle names where the final component is an empty string are omitted.
     * For example, if country1 is an empty string, the second candidate bundle name is omitted.
     *
     * <p>
     * <code>getBundle</code> then iterates over the candidate bundle names to find the first
     * one for which it can <em>instantiate</em> an actual resource bundle. For each candidate
     * bundle name, it attempts to create a resource bundle:
     * <ul>
     * <li>
     * First, it attempts to load a class using the candidate bundle name.
     * If such a class can be found and loaded using the specified class loader, is assignment
     * compatible with ResourceBundle, is accessible from ResourceBundle, and can be instantiated,
     * <code>getBundle</code> creates a new instance of this class and uses it as the <em>result
     * resource bundle</em>.
     * <li>
     * Otherwise, <code>getBundle</code> attempts to locate a property resource file.
     * It generates a path name from the candidate bundle name by replacing all "." characters
     * with "/" and appending the string ".properties".
     * It attempts to find a "resource" with this name using
     * {@link java.lang.ClassLoader#getResource(java.lang.String) ClassLoader.getResource}.
     * (Note that a "resource" in the sense of <code>getResource</code> has nothing to do with
     * the contents of a resource bundle, it is just a container of data, such as a file.)
     * If it finds a "resource", it attempts to create a new
     * {@link PropertyResourceBundle} instance from its contents.
     * If successful, this instance becomes the <em>result resource bundle</em>.
     * </ul>
     *
     * <p>
     * If no result resource bundle has been found, a <code>MissingResourceException</code>
     * is thrown.
     *
     * <p>
     * Once a result resource bundle has been found, its parent chain is instantiated.
     * <code>getBundle</code> iterates over the candidate bundle names that can be
     * obtained by successively removing variant, country, and language
     * (each time with the preceding "_") from the bundle name of the result resource bundle.
     * As above, candidate bundle names where the final component is an empty string are omitted.
     * With each of the candidate bundle names it attempts to instantiate a resource bundle, as
     * described above.
     * Whenever it succeeds, it calls the previously instantiated resource
     * bundle's {@link #setParent(java.util.ResourceBundle) setParent} method
     * with the new resource bundle, unless the previously instantiated resource
     * bundle already has a non-null parent.
     *
     * <p>
     * Implementations of <code>getBundle</code> may cache instantiated resource bundles
     * and return the same resource bundle instance multiple times. They may also
     * vary the sequence in which resource bundles are instantiated as long as the
     * selection of the result resource bundle and its parent chain are compatible with
     * the description above.
     *
     * <p>
     * The <code>baseName</code> argument should be a fully qualified class name. However, for
     * compatibility with earlier versions, Sun's Java 2 runtime environments do not verify this,
     * and so it is possible to access <code>PropertyResourceBundle</code>s by specifying a
     * path name (using "/") instead of a fully qualified class name (using ".").
     *
     * <p>
     * <strong>Example:</strong> The following class and property files are provided:
     * MyResources.class, MyResources_fr_CH.properties, MyResources_fr_CH.class,
     * MyResources_fr.properties, MyResources_en.properties, MyResources_es_ES.class.
     * The contents of all files are valid (that is, public non-abstract subclasses of ResourceBundle for
     * the ".class" files, syntactically correct ".properties" files).
     * The default locale is <code>Locale("en", "GB")</code>.
     * <p>
     * Calling <code>getBundle</code> with the shown locale argument values instantiates
     * resource bundles from the following sources:
     * <ul>
     * <li>Locale("fr", "CH"): result MyResources_fr_CH.class, parent MyResources_fr.properties, parent MyResources.class
     * <li>Locale("fr", "FR"): result MyResources_fr.properties, parent MyResources.class
     * <li>Locale("de", "DE"): result MyResources_en.properties, parent MyResources.class
     * <li>Locale("en", "US"): result MyResources_en.properties, parent MyResources.class
     * <li>Locale("es", "ES"): result MyResources_es_ES.class, parent MyResources.class
     * </ul>
     * The file MyResources_fr_CH.properties is never used because it is hidden by
     * MyResources_fr_CH.class.
     *
     * <p>
     *
