When loading bundles, via Resource.getBundle(), in an applet where the
applet class and bundles are stored in a jar file, I/O exceptions are
thrown for the locale specific bundles that don't exist. The exceptions
don't occur when the applet class and bundles are not in a jar file.

Here's a simple example:



  // file test2\Main.java

  package test2;

  import java.lang.System;
  import java.util.ResourceBundle;

  public class Main extends java.applet.Applet
  {

    public void init()
    {

       ResourceBundle b = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test2.res.bund1");
       System.out.println("test2 output: " + b.getString("winky"));

    }

  }


  // file test2\res\bund1.java

  package test2.res;

  import java.util.*;

  public class bund1 extends ListResourceBundle
  {

    public Object[][] getContents()
    {
      return contents;
    }

    static final Object[][] contents =
    {
      {"winky", "Winky was here"}
    };

  }


When test2 is run as an applet without being stored in a jar the following
output is created:

% appletviewer test2NoJar.html
test2 output: Winky was here

The same test2, but the class and the bundle are stored in a jar, creates
the following output:

% appletviewer test2Jar.html
I/O exception when loading: test2.res.bund1_en_US
I/O exception when loading: test2.res.bund1_en
I/O exception when loading: test2.res.bund1_en_US
I/O exception when loading: test2.res.bund1_en
test2 output: Winky was here
