It is.  Our tooling generates the property file skeletons.  Then the 
translation team translates them, and then the tooling compiles them 
down to classes.

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.
