Follow the hints in this post and see if you made one of those mistakes, which could be (copy pasted from the link):

1. These resource properties files are loaded by classloader, similar to java classes. So you need to include them in your runtime classpath.

2. These resources have fully-qualified-resource-name, similar to a fully-qualified-class-name, excerpt you can't import a resource into your java source file. Why? because its name takes the form of a string.

3. ResourceBundle.getBundle("config") tells the classloader to load a resource named "config" with default package (that is, no package). It does NOT mean a resource in the current package that has the referencing class.

4. ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.cheng.scrap.config") tells the classloader to load a resource named "config" with package "com.cheng.scrap." Its fully-qualified-resource-name is "com.cheng.scrap.config"
