Creating resource files
When you create a new .rrh resource header file, the BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse®
creates the associated .rrc resource content file. If an .rrh file already exists, the BlackBerry Java Plug-in
for Eclipse
creates only the new .rrc file. If an .rrh file does not already exist, the BlackBerry Java Plug-in
for Eclipse
creates the .rrc file and the .rrh file.
For each BlackBerry device application that you want to localize, you must create a resource header file, a resource content file for the global locale, and a resource content file for any specific locales that you require.

Example
|
|---|
Resource header file
|
This file defines the descriptive keys for each localized string.
During compilation, the BlackBerry Java Plug-in
for Eclipse
creates a resource interface automatically that uses the same name as the .rrh file with Resource appended.
|
AppName.rrh
|
Resource content file root (global) locale
|
This file maps numeric keys to string literals for the root (global) locale.
|
AppName.rrc
|
Resource content file (specific locales)
|
This file maps descriptive keys to values for the global and specific locales (language and country).
This file must have the same name as the resource header file, followed by an underscore (_) and the language code, and then, optionally, by a single underscore (_) and a country code (for example, AppName_en_GB.rrc).
Two-letter language and country codes are specified in ISO-639 and ISO-3166, respectively.

AppName_en.rrc
