[FIXED] Trying to load a .properties file into Resource bundle getting error "Can't find bundle for base name"

Issue

I'm trying to load a .properties file into my ResourceBundle

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{

        ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("/sample/resources/language_en.properties");

        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/sample/layout/test_form.fxml"), bundle);
    }
}

But I'm getting the error:

Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name /sample/resources/language_en.properties, locale en_US

Can't figure out why. I've checked the path multiple times /sample/resources/language_en.properties for spelling mistakes. I've also tried rebuilding the project (Using IntelliJ).

Does anyone have an idea why?

Solution

When loading resource bundle don't have .properties in basename extensions. Also, remove the leading / for the basename.

Use ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("sample/resources/language_en");
