I manually checked *Resources.java under sun/security and usage of them, 
my investigation shows that overall quality of "static" resource usage 
is good (by "static" I mean it uses hard code resource string like 
rb.getString("xxxx") rather than rb.getString(aStringVariable) ), except 
of this issue and another new issue: 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8184234, in which similar issue 
in sun.security.provider.AuthPolicyFile$PolicyEntry is reported.

For new issue JDK-8184234, it existed since jdk6 to 10.

Thank you
