+/** describes a <type>XResourceBundleLoader</type> which provides access to the OpenOffice.org
+ resource files.
+
+ <p>An OpenOffice.org installation comes with a number of resource files in an proprietary
+ format, located insisde the installation's program/resource directory. The <type>OfficeResoureLoader</type>
+ singleton (available at a component context as value with the key
+ <code>/singletons/com.sun.star.resource.OfficeResourceLoader</code>), provides access to some
+ types of resources within those files.</p>
+
+ <p>Clients have to specifiy the resource file base name in the call to
+ <member>XResourceBundleLoader::loadBundle</member> resp. <member>XResourceBundleLoader::loadBundle_Default</member>
+ method. The loader will extent this base name so that the resulting name conforms to the OpenOffice.org
+ resource file naming conventions, and look up the respective resource file, for the requested locale,
+ in OpenOffice.org's installation.</p>
+
+ <p>The lookup process uses the fallback mechanism as described at the <type>XResourceBundle</type> interface,
+ except that <code>Locale.getDefault()</code> is not used.</p>
+
+ <p>Resource keys, as passed to the <member>XResourceBundle::getDirectElement</member> or
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameAccess::getByName</member>, have the following format:
+ <code>&lt;resource_type&gt;:&lt;numeric_identifier&gt;</code>, where <code>&lt;resource_type&gt; specifies
+ the type of the requested resource (see below) and <code>&lt;numeric_identifier&gt;</code> is the numeric
+ identifier of the resource.</p>
+
+ <p>The following resource types are currently supported:
+ <ul>
+ <li><em>string</em>: denotes a string resource</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Since the numeric resource identifiers are highly build-dependent (e.g. can change with any next
+ OpenOffice.org build), you are <strong>strongly</strong> discouraged from using the <type>OfficeResoureLoader</type>
+ service in a component which targets more than one particular OpenOffice.org build.</p>
