In an example class, the resourcebundle gets variables from a classname.properties file, i get how to use it but my question is, can those variables in the .properties file be an array or can they just be only one value… if not, is there a way to store array variables in a properties file and call them up during execution of your program?
a properties file / resourcebundel is an dictionary, in other words a mapping between a key/value which these days is an map, since we’re working with text files it’s string mapped to a string a string. no you can use a stringtokeniser or something to split stuff
