[jbosstools-dev] Running UCDetector to remove obsolete resourcebundle messages

Hi, I've run UCDetector [1] against the codebase, and it has found 294 fields in *Messages classes which have 0 references. I've attached a list (views well in oocalc). I'd like to remove them, along with their corresponding resourcebundle properties, to reduce the number of translatable strings. UCDetector also finds lots of unused methods and classes (which may be referencing even more obsolete strings), but I'm wary of false positives, so I won't try to tackle them. But if anyone else wants to run UCDetector against their code, I would appreciate it! (Or I could export a larger TSV file if you don't feel like installing UCDetector.) 1. Is removing those messages a bad idea, for some reason I can't think of? 2. Should I do this under JBIDE-3557, or should I create a new task, perhaps a sub-task?
