No API changes. Code tested (all-tests), so I'm taking the next-to-last step...
[name change to make Tom happy...] Seriously, Tom finally got it through my thick skull that there was an established coding practice to follow... so sacrifice meaningful name [to the ignorant, such as I] to what experienced developers will be looking for. Final [optional] step would be to remove o.a.a.utils.Messages, redirecting all current usage to o.a.a..i18n.Messages instead. To be *pure* to the model, o.a.a.i18n.Messages would be copied to oa.a.Messages, and resource.properties would be moved to o.a.a.resource.properties (i.e., put both at the root of the projects). ******************************************* Richard A.
