 * here.  This extends the example given in ListResourceBundle.
 * Create a file MyResource_de.properties with the following contents
 * and put it in the CLASSPATH.  (The character

 *
 * <p>Although this is a sub class of a hash table, you should never
 * insert anything other than strings to this property, or several
 * methods, that need string keys and values, will fail.  To ensure
 * this, you should use the <code>get/setProperty</code> method instead
 * of <code>get/put</code>.
 *
 * Properties are saved in ISO 8859-1 encoding, using Unicode escapes with
 * a single <code>u</code> for any character which cannot be represented.
