Just an FYI regarding I18N messages and logging those messages. A new project called i18nlog now exists (I grew this out of another project I've been working on at home). It includes: * a way to auto-generate resource bundle properties files (via a custom ant task) * an API to get I18N messages (for use within user interfaces for example) * an API to create localized exceptions (where the exception message is an I18N message) * an API to log I18N messages (so really, logging is just a part of this project). It requires JDK5 because it uses varargs to get runtime values that replace the {0} type placeholders in the messages and it uses Java5 annotations to declare your resource bundles, messages and their locales. See http://i18nlog.sourceforge.net for more information. The API is here: http://i18nlog.sourceforge.net/api View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3958878#...
