ResourceBundles and special characters

Seems that some special characters when used in a ResourceBundle proper file will throw off the parser for substitution. These characters need to be escaped properly, the escape notation is as follows:

The special chars \', { and }:

escape ' with another '	''	(double-single quote)
escape \ with another \	\\	(double backslash)
enclose } with '	'}'
enclose { with '	'{'
