*.properties file of every project must be synced effectively with the source. Say I have a file named Foo.java inside a project that contains a properties file named abc.properties. Assume that I have internationalized most of the Hard coded strings in Foo.java whose corresponding key-value pairs are placed in *.properties file. I deleted few of the Hard coded strings from Foo.java. But my abc.properties file doesn't reflect that change. It may soon lead me to confusion if I have several key-value pairs in properties file. Suggested Solution: It'd be better if my abc.properties could dynamically reflect the changes I made to my Foo.java file. Life would have been much better for people like me. When few strings are deleted from the original Source file, User must right click inside the editor and he should see an option like "Sync" and when clicked on it properties file should change accordingly.

Aren't you actually requesting a feature for finding unused keys in a properties file - issue 32182?
Let's keep issue 32182 for unused keys finding and this one for updating references to the properties file when it is moved.
