The following lines:

public static final String RESOURCES = "COM.ibm.test.TestResources";
ResourceBundle r = ResourceBundle.getBundle(RESOURCES, Locale.getDefault());

generate the message:

File not found when looking for: COM.ibm.test.TestResources_en_US

If the en_US version of the resource file does not
exit. If TestResources_en.class didn't exist,
you'd also get a "file not found" for it, as well.
However, as long as the base TestResource.class is
found, the code continues to run.

(In JDK 1.1.3, you also got a stack trace with the
error message.)

In my opinion, the "file not found" message should
be suppressed as long as one resource file in the
expected heirarchy is found. I absolutely don't
want to provide a resource file for every possible
variation of locale!
