At least that's the plan for now. I'm waiting to hear back from the L10n team on how they feel about getting 100+ .pot files, some of which will be quite small. I think most open-source projects have one large .pot file, not one per subdirectory (ie Java package). If I have to, I could map 100 .properties files into one or more .pot files, by munging pathnames into the keys (msgctxt). That would also mean a corresponding reduction in the number of .po files. But I'm hoping to avoid doing that, partly because it's more work! but also because it means creating a non-standard mapping between pot/po/props. (At the moment, the mappings implemented by the Ant-Gettext tasks correspond to "prop2po --duplicates=msgctxt" in the Translate Toolkit.)
