+/**
+ * This class is a concrete <code>ResourceBundle</code> that gets it
+ * resources from a property file. This implies that the resources are
+ * strings. For more information about resource bundles see the class
+ * <code>ResourceBundle</code>.
+ *
+ * You should not use this class directly, or subclass it, but you get
+ * an object of this class automatically when you call
+ * <code>ResourceBundle.getBundle()</code> and there is a properties
+ * file.
+ *
+ * If there is also a class for this resource and the same locale, the
+ * class does win.
+ *
+ * The properties file should have the name of the resource bundle,
+ * appended with the locale (e.g. <code>_de</code) and the extension
+ * <code>.properties</code>. The file should have the same format
+ * as for <code>Properties.load()</code>
+ *
+ * XXX- move this to properties.
+ * The file should have the following
+ * format: An empty line or a line starting with <code>#</code> is
+ * ignored. An backslash (<code>\</code>) at the end of the line
+ * makes the line continueing on the next line. Otherwise, each line
+ * describes a key/value pair. The chars up to the first whitespace,
+ * = or : are the key. The key is followed by one or more
+ * whitespaces, <code>=</code> or <code>:</code>. The rest of the
+ * line is the resource belonging to the key. You can give unicode
+ * characters with the <code>\\uxxxx</code> notation, where
+ * <code>xxxx</code> is the hex encoding of the 16 bit unicode char
+ * number.
+ *
+ * An example of a properties file for the german language is given
+ * here. This extends the example given in ListResourceBundle.
+ * Create a file MyResource_de.properties with the following contents
+ * and put it in the CLASSPATH. (The char <code>\u00e4<char> is the
+ * german &auml;)
