java properties google-checkout

I am trying to use a property file to store my google checkout merchant information. When I call ResourceBundle.getBundle("com_google_checkout_example_settings");

I get the error:

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name com_google_checkout_example_settings, locale en_US

Where do I need to put the properties file so getBundle() can find it? do I need to add the locale to the properties file?

The file needs to be included in your classpath. If it already is being included but is inside a package then you need to provide the full path - ie: ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/google/example/checkout_settings.txt")
