A small annotation processor for Eclipse that checks @Resource annotations from the Swing Application Framework against the properties file that defines the values for the injected resources.
The values of injected resources are displayed with a little info marker on the left side of the Eclipse editor.
If injected resources are not defined in the properties file, the processor marks the resource with a compiler warning. This makes it easy to spot typos in the properties file for example.
