Not sure about the i-report IDE, but for ResourceBundle, as long as you have put the properties file in any of the directories which is in classpath, you should be able to load it.

Example code:
Assuming the Config.properties file is in a directory, which is in classpath.

  
ResourceBundle rBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Config");
String value = rBundle.getString ("name");

Hope this helps.

If your question is just about how to read the value from resource bundle, all you need to do is put the code mentioned in my earlier post and just put the property file in the classpath. No matter which IDE you use, if you're doing these two steps, it should work.

If this doesn't help, where exactly are you stuck?

well Ankit....This is the first time I am using the Jasper report, so my question may sound somewhat stupid.Whatever I am doing right now is just try to demostrate the Jasper report through the i-report. What I get after the compilation is the .xml file which I have not integratd yet with the java code.After the click on run button ..I get all the stuff as per requirmwent in PDF or word format. Now my requrment is to read the values from the resource bundle. I have gone through the code which you posted last time . But for sure I won't be able to write such type of java code in XML file.
Infact there is a variable called REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE and REPORT_LOCALE which I can see in i-report editor under "parameter" tab . I think these are the two variables to which I have to pass the path of .property file.But I dont know how.
Please help me out with the same

Hi,
I thinkthis code is helpful for you,
String language = new String("en");
String country = new String("US");
Locale currentLocale = new Locale(language, country);
ResourceBundle message = ResourceBundle.getBundle ("MessagesBundle_en_US",currentLocale);
String msg1 = message.getString("greetings");
Place key, value pair in this file MessagesBundle_en_US.properties file
like
greetings = Hello
