Load messages files in MessageSouce from imported jar

qbabor4 :

I have spring boot application using i18n that imports a jar file as a library. In jar library there are messages.properties files messages.properties, messages_en.properties, ... that I want to use.

Problem is that messages.properties files from the library are not loaded and I can't use translations from them.

I have MessageSource bean set up as bellow and I can't figure out what path should I add to access messages.properties files in the library. Now only messages.properties files from the main app are used

@Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource  messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messageSource.setBasenames(
                "classpath:messages", 
//              " path to messages in library ?" 
        );
        messageSource.setUseCodeAsDefaultMessage(true);
        messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messageSource;
    }

Messages in the library were added to resources, so they are in the base folder of the jar library_structure_picture

I have managed to find a solution. I have changed name of messages in one project so they were not the same as names in the other. F.eg.: messages.properties, messages_en.properties in one project and messages2.properties, messages2_en.properties in second project (library).

Than i've added path to messages and messages2 in configuration as bellow and all messages were accessible.

@Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource ();
        messageSource.setBasenames("classpath:messages", "classpath:messages2");
        return messageSource;
    }

It comes out that messages files names can't be the same
