Using resource bundle with IDEA IDE

Question

I'm using IDEA IDE to create i18n.. I created English version of my property file and then created a Russian one. But when I run my web application I saw Ïðîñìîòð Íîâîñòè instead of my text in Russian.. Tell me please what was wrong in IDEA IDE or whether there's a bug in resource bundle plugin.

UPDATE

When I write I18n in eclipse and fill in all necessary fields into Russian language in Eclipse resource bundle plugin instead of Russian text I saw something like this u0443u0434u0430u043Bu0438u0442u044C but when I start my app it displays all well.. And when I start project in IDEA IDE with such properties everything works fine..

I am able to recreate your issue using a different language (Chinese) ... I just tried this in my IntelliJ IDEA instance (I am running IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.3).

I have a ResourceBundle and I dropped in Simplified Chinese characters into my Resource Bundle as follows:

messages.properties

user.label=名称

When I ran my Grails app through IDEA, I got characters ?? instead of the Chinese Characters 名称

This is a bug with IntelliJ Resource Bundle Editor. Here is a link to the Issue:

I know it does not give you a fix, but at least it explains to you why it is happening and why you do not see the issue with Eclipse.
