A DESCRIPTION OF THE REGRESSION :

An application has been written to read a resource bundle. If the resource bundle is in the same directory as the application, with the same name as the application (e.g. resourceTest/Test.properties and resourceTest/Test.java) then loading the resource bundle causes looping exception behaviour.

This works fine under JDK5.

REPRODUCIBLE TESTCASE OR STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Application test case consists of one java file and one properties file. Compile and run the application using the command:

java resourceTest.Test


Test case follows:

========= File resourceTest/Test.java ==============================
package resourceTest;

import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class Test
{
    private ResourceBundle bundle;

    public Test()
    {
        try
        {
            bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resourceTest.Test");
            System.out.println(bundle.getString("DB_SCHEMA"));
        }
        catch (Throwable ivjExc)
        {
            System.out.println("--------- EXCEPTION ---------");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test();
    }

}
=========End of resourceTest/Test.java============================


========= File resourceTest/Test.properties ========================
DB_SCHEMA = Schema_Name
========= End of resourceTest/Test.properties ======================
