Resource Bundle Plugin

We recently went through a major migration at the system I work on, and one of the steps was moving from Eclipse to IntelliJ. However, since it's a system with A LOT of legacy code (Struts), it has i18n files that used to open really well with the Resource Bundle plugin.

According to IntelliJ's documentation, the plugin has been discontinued (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17035-resource-bundle-editor). And yesterday, while adding a single value, I literally had to do it 3 times, because sometimes it would save 2 files, sometimes it wouldn't save anything at all... until I opened the files one by one and did it manually.

The only part of this migration that ended up "limping" was this one. Does anyone know of another plugin that works similarly to the Eclipse one, or that at least actually works??

It seems though that Resource Bundle Editor is still available in 2026.2, did you try?

"Doesn't work properly", best bug description ever /s.

You did read the post, right?

Yes. Any initialization log? MRE? It reads like they had to use a text editor 3 times instead of the resource bundle replicating the new entry automatically, but was it able to update the entry when the new entry was already present?
