Hi Michael,
This is useful information. Here's another question.
The localization package will use Java properties files. They will
probably also be used in the settings package. How do I tell Ant to
include Java Properties files? Thaniks.
I hope you don't mind the spelling of localization. I hate abreviations
like I18n. (:
