Java Code testing Resource

@ManagedBean(name = "editor")
@SessionScoped
public class EditorBean {

    static  {
        System.out.println("Testing Resource Setup: ");
        try {
            Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
            System.out.println("Testing Resource Setup - Current Locale: " + locale);
            ResourceBundle backend = ResourceBundle.getBundle("backend",locale);
            Enumeration  keys = backend.getKeys();
            while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
                String key = keys.nextElement();
                String value = backend.getString(key);
                System.out.println("Testing Resource Setup:" + key + ": " + value);
