                                               java.util.Locale locale)

Try to read the text for a field that is NOT annotated with @Label from a resource bundle. The resource bundle is expected to be in the same package and has the same name as clasz. Example: For "org.fuin.example.MyClass" the resource bundle is something like "/org/fuin/example/MyClass.properties" or "/org/fuin/example/MyClass_en.properties". The fieldName is used as key within the resource bundle. If the key is not found fieldName is returned itself.

Parameters:

clasz - Class with the field - Cannot be null.

fieldName - Field within the class - Cannot be null.

locale - Locale to use - Cannot be null.

Returns:

Text to display for the field.
