In addition to BalusC's answer:

Since JSF 2.3 it is also possible to inject a resource bundle defined in faces-config.xml without the use of a producer method. There is a new annotation javax.faces.annotation.ManagedProperty (note it is in the ...annotation package, not the ...bean package) that works with @Inject:

// ...
import javax.faces.annotation.ManagedProperty;
// ...

@Named 
@SessionScoped 
public class UserBean implements Serializable {

  // ...

  @Inject
  @ManagedProperty("#{msg}")
  private ResourceBundle bundle;

  // ...

}
