How to use resourcebundles with jetty? - jetty

Question

My question is how does one include ResourceBundles, in a Jetty project?
I have a webservice project named ServletEnvironment.
ServletEnvironment exports my service as an exploded war directory, containing:
[war directory]/WEB-INF/classes/{ properties files }
[war directory]/WEB-INF/web.xml
ServletEnvironment implements classes from my JettyWeb project.
JettyWeb starts a jetty server as described below:
Server server = new Server(port);
WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext();
webapp.setContextPath("/test");
webapp.setResourceBase("[war directory]//");
HandlerList hlist = new HandlerList();
hlist.addHandler(webapp);
server.setHandler(hlist);
server.start();
Then lastly I have a Servlet project, Servlet is referenced in my ServletEnvironments web.xml as below:
<!-- Listener -->
<listener>
<listener-class>com.basicservlet.BasicListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<!-- Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>basicServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>Default Basic Http Servlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>com.basicservlet.BasicHttpServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Default Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>basicServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
<!-- 60 minutes -->
</session-config>
In my Servlet, I attempt:
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(bundleName, locale);
It returns null.
In my JettyWeb, right after server.start() I attempt:
URL rs = this.getClass().getResource(propertiesDir);
System.out.println("Found: " + rs.toString());
It also returns null.
Although I didn't believe that one would work.
Any help would be much appreciated please.

Properties properties;
InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("application.properties");
properties = new Properties();
properties.load(inputStream);
String value = properties.getProperty(key);
This works in my case with embedded-jetty and application.properties is on classpath
