Of course JDBCException was an extreme example. But IOException would be another one. (Don't I have the permission? Did I misspell a directory? ...) There are subclasses of IOException but there are still many different texts found in a real IOException. And even if I know that it is a FileNotFoundException it is difficult to translate since the most important information is of course the name of the file and this usually isn't known further up the "calling hierarchy". > Not everyone is going to support internationalized exceptions, > but if we can provide the tools to make it easy, then there is > just that many more users of the Avalon code. As I said, I would be willing to provide the code.
