You mean all this crap isn't built on top of simple property files? (At
least thats what I saw in the jboss-logging-processor testsuite)
It is. Our tooling generates the property file skeletons. Then the
translation team translates them, and then the tooling compiles them
down to classes.

I agree. Which is why this is at the very bottom of my queue now because
you guys had to over-engineer this.
We have these things called "requirements" which we met exactly afaict.
This is the exact opposite of "over-engineering", which is, by
definition, adding in un-required features. The jboss-logging API is
minimal; the i18n solution exactly implements the requirements.
