Description

Name: dg70945			Date: 09/23/98


I could not find anywhere (in javadoc nor
i18n tutorial) where resources files should be
placed in order to be found by ResourceBundle.getBundle

The name format of the resource files is specified
however, were it should be placed is not specified
anywhere.

It's only by looking at the source that I saw that
the classloader was used to load those resource
files.

This would greatly help to state it
more explictly both in the javadoc of 
ResourceBundle.getBundle and the
i18n tutorial.
