You have asked 2 questions:

• To put properties outside the project you have to create a custom class file that is extending the Resource bundle. For further details see this: Loading resources outside project

• To load both properties you can load both with different var like:

  <!-- loading properties outside the project --> <resource-bundle> <base-name>com.yourpackage.CustomResourceBundle</base-name> <var>msgCustom</var> </resource-bundle> <!-- loading properties inside the project --> <resource-bundle> <base-name>com.yourpackage.resources.view</base-name> <var>msg</var> </resource-bundle>
