When I right click my files in eclipse, and select source-->Extenalize Strings. What will happen? What is the use of that?

Hemant,
That will take your Strings and put them in a property file. This is used for internationalization. The idea is that Java can pick the correct property file based on what language the user wants. This article describes it well with examples.
