Hi,

ResourceBundle#getBundle() [1] has a very nice strategy to lookup files
based on a locale. Is there a way to get similar functionality that just
returns a list of resources, e.g. as URLs, but leaves the loading and
the chaining to the parents to the caller?

In my case, these are XML localized documentation files, but I can
imagine that this is also useful for other applications like localized
Icons, etc.

Cheers,
Simon

Would extending ResourceBundle.Control [2] be of use in this? I see it
has an XML example:

Yes, that's perfect. I didn't know the class, although it is documented
very prominently in ResourceBundle. I must have missed it when 1.6 was
released.

Thanks a lot!

A way to solve this problem if you can't do it with the docs is to
look in src.zip for the source code of getBundle. You can then see if
they have neatly partitioned the find and load logic.
