<Can't find bundle for base name> is driving me mad

[F. Da Costa]

Hi all,

Although i'm not a complete newbie i do feel like one at the moment.

This question concerns the use of the ResourceBundle as per the example in
the Trail tutorial on java.sun.com (thus it should be simple, right?).

The error:
java.util.Missi ngResourceExcep tion: Can't find bundle for base name
LabelsBundle, locale en_US
at java.util.Resou rceBundle.throw MissingResource Exception(Unkno wn Source)
at java.util.Resou rceBundle.getBu ndleImpl(Unknow n Source)
at java.util.Resou rceBundle.getBu ndle(Unknown Source)
at multilanguage.P ropertiesDemo.d isplayValue(Pro pertiesDemo.jav a:25)
at multilanguage.P ropertiesDemo.m ain(PropertiesD emo.java:46)

Attached is the code and the three prop files i (try to) use.

I know about the classpath suggestions that can be found all over the place
but the prop files are just sitting nicely in the same dir where the
PropertiesDemo. class file resides (and is started from). This suggests to
me that the classpath is ok (right?).

Should not matter but i'm using Eclipse 3M7.

If anybody could help me out here i would really appreciate it. It is
already bugging me for more than 4 hours now :-[[

TIA
