Seems to me also that it duplicates XMLResourceBundleFactory...

Actually I also have some pending commits to i18n stuff in Avalon
(XMLResourceBundle*) that would address some of your concerns. Especially I
would like to add an interface/abstract class that would make the i18n
services more pluggable and extendable and less XMLResourceBundle dependent.

Also... XMLResouceBundle right now extends java.util.ResourceBundle and I
find that quite limiting (it has some final methods that cannot be
overridden, etc). I would like to remove that dependancy and instead make
XMLResourceBundle extend/implement an Avalon interface that I already
mentioned above (org.apache.avalon.i18n.ResourceBundle?)...

For some more ideas about stuff on my TODO list, see also the posting in
Avalon list:
