java.util.ResourceBundle has a file descriptor leak.
It never closes the file that it opened to read
the resources. If the file that is returned is
a normal file input stream, then finalization will
eventually close the file. But if the file is a
random access file, which has no finalization method
(I already filed a bug about that), then the file
is never closed.

Here's the code fragment from ResourceBundle.findBundle()
that doesn't close the file:

            debug("Searching for " + searchName );
            stream = loader.getResourceAsStream(searchName);
            if( stream != null ) {
// make sure it is buffered
stream = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(stream);
                try {
                    lookup = (Object)new PropertyResourceBundle( stream );
                    break searchLoop;
                } catch (Exception e) {}
            }
