What is the ResourceBundle class?
- ResourceBundle contains locale-specific objects.
- A program can load locale-specific objects from the resource bundle per the current user's locale.
- This makes the program free of the locale specific clutter and the programmer can focus on logic.
ResourceBundle allows programs to:1. Be easily localized, or translated, into different languages
2. Be easily modified later to support even more locales
3. Handle multiple locales simultaneously
