IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 Web Help

Once you create several .properties files with the same name, differing by locale suffix, IntelliJ IDEA automatically recognizes them and group in the Project view into a Resource Bundle.

resourceBundles

You can create and delete property keys in each .properties file individually. For changing values, use the resource bundle editor that enables you to edit an entire set of property files at a time. IntelliJ IDEA takes care of creating respective records in each file. The properties missing values, or omitted in one of the .properties files are red-highlighted.

bundleEditor

  1. Select a resource bundle in the Project tool window.
