Wanting to use the messages in ICU4J, I was lead to believe one needed to run the command:<\/p>\n

genrb root.txt<\/code><\/p>\n

This produces root.res.
\nHowever using the following snippet results in the error message below:<\/p>\n

UResourceBundle urb = UResourceBundle.getBundleInstance(\"Your package path\",\"root\");<\/code><\/p>\n

>Data file yourPackagePath\/root.res is corrupt - ICU data file error: Header authentication failed, please check if you have a valid ICU data file<\/code><\/span><\/p>\n


\nthen after some googling came across one entry in the mailing list<\/a> that suggested I check the endian-ness.<\/p>\n

Chris,\r\nAre you running generating the res file on a windows machine?\r\nIf yes you should run it through icuswap utility and make the res file \r\nbig endian before you can load it in ICU4J.\r\nHave a look at icu\/source\/tools\/genrb\/gendtjar.pl for more information.\r\n\r\nBest Regards,\r\n\r\nRam Viswanadha\r\n\r\nChris Hsu wrote:\r\n\r\n> Hi;\r\n> \r\n> I am new to ICU4J.

It’s probably important to note that the icuswap utility looks to be discontinued.<\/p>\n
Anyways to fix this issue you need to do icupkg -tb root.res<\/code> if using ICU4J when root.res was generated on windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
