Answer 1

Follow the hints in this post and see if you made one of those mistakes.

Answer 2

Is the file in your classpath? If it is, try renaming it to abc_en_US.properties

Answer 3

Loading the Properties file for localization stuff is also affected by the package naming. If you put your Properties file in a package like org.example.com.foobar and load it just by its name abc you have to add the prefix org.example.com.foobar, too. If you have the properties at a different location (like in the root directory or in another subdir) you have to change either the name to load or the classpath.

I run fine in placing the properties file in the same location where the .java file is and using something like

private static ResourceBundle RES = ResourceBundle.getBundle(NameOfTheCurrentClass.class.getCanonicalName());

Thanks All for answering.... and special thanks to Montecristo. He provided very good link which actually help me.

Actually In property file I am using physical location and that location is not present physically. So I was getting the exception.

Thanks Crew
