Hi Tom,
Thank you for the advice, and my apologies for insufficient words.
The idea was to present translators with as minimal set of diffs
from release to release as possible.
Basically, I quite agree with you on the approach, but the problem
of the current resource is that there're so many unused and temporal
keys. Fortunately, the Japanization is the first feasibility study
for Axis in i18n task. I think that it's a good timing to clean-up
the existing resource keys, so that later translators can easy find
out the necessary keys to translate. Then, in fact, I've also asked
dims how we should take steps to do so. Sure, erasing of keys is not
so good at this time. My (/ Our) intention was below on the diff of
the last commit message;
######################################################################
# Unused keys #
# #
# THE FOLLOWING KEYS ARE NOT IN-USE ON THE CURRENT SOURCE. FOR THIS #
# REASON, THESE KEYS MAY BE DEPRECATED SOMETIMES IN THE FUTURE. IF #
# YOU EXPLICITLY HOPE TO USE ANY KEYS BELOW, YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE #
# KEYS INTO THE "In-use keys" BLOCK ABOVE. #
# #

Thanks,
Toshi

Toshi,
This is great, but in general we add new keys to the bottom of the file
so that additions that need to be translated are always in the same
place.

Modified: java/src/org/apache/axis/i18n resource.properties
Log:
On the i18n task, we've found a lot of unused keys at the current
resource file. To make clear the status, I've added the following
changes to the file.
BEFORE: resource.properties
+-----------------+
| key-1 = .... | <-- (In-use)
| key-2 = .... | <-- (Unused)
| key-3 = .... | <-- (In-use)
| key-4 = .... | <-- (Unused)
| key-5 = .... | <-- (Unused)
| key-6 = .... | <-- (In-use)
: :
+-----------------+
AFTER: resource.properties
+-----------------+
| ### In-use keys |
| # |
| key-1 = .... |
| key-3 = .... |
| key-6 = .... |
| |
| ### Unused keys |
| # |
| key-2 = .... |
| key-4 = .... |
| key-5 = .... |

On this task, Shouhei Kodama has been a great help in creating
the new resource file.
Thanks,
