This article covers a Bloomreach Experience Manager version 12. There's an updated version available that covers our most recent release.

Migrate from the Properties Plugin to Resource Bundles

To migrate from the Properties Plugin to Resource Bundles, you can use a Groovy updater script to convert your properties documents to a resource bundle.

  1. Create a resource bundle document in a folder of your choice.

  2. Add the Groovy script below to the script registry.

  3. Set the 'path' parameter to the absolute path of the resource bundle document your created, e.g. /content/documents/myproject/labels/labels.

  4. Run the script! You might want to do a dry run first. Make sure you have no conflicting keys.

  5. Check your resource bundle document. All properties from all your properties documents should have been added to the resource bundle.

  6. You will still need to adapt your code to use the messages from the resource bundle instead of the properties documents.
