The Resource Bundle Editor is designed to edit Java property
resource bundles. This application differs from existing tools,
overcoming some common limitations:
Most resource-editing tools are heavy-weight developer tools
with too many features. This solution is simple, lightweight, and
easy for non-technical people to use.
Existing resource-editing tools do not provide options for
character encoding. This solution provides an extensible encoding
mechanism.
Many existing tools do not present characters as they would be
viewed in an application. This solution shows text as it would be
viewed by the end-user.
Most tools do not assist in any way with version tracking or
change management. This solution makes it simple to see
instantaneously which text is up to date, and for which language.
Capabilities
The Resource Bundle Editor provides the following
capabilities:

Show
two arbitrary languages side-by-side for comparison.
Show
text both as it would be viewed in an application and as it appears in
