Does Java have an equivalent to .NET resource (.resx) files for localization?

In .NET, you can define resources as key-value pairs within a standard XML document.

The resource files are named according to the culture. For example:

myresources.resx

myresources.en-us.resx

myresources.fr-fr.resx

myresources.de-de.resx

Is there an equivalent in Java? Are the similar naming conventions used for files?
