I could do this; every time I talk to customers they hammer into me that clear and helpful error messages are key.
Users would definitely appreciate your contribution!
It would *really* help if I knew which message texts were modified in the doc. Is it limited to the Derby-specific messages with SQLStates starting with "X"?
Unfortunately Jeff is on vacation, will be back June 6 if I remember right. So all I know is what he posted to Jira.
Would I submit this as an independent patch to the same JIRA item? Note
Or maybe open a sub task and submit a patch to that?
My guess is there are additional things to watch out for; for example, updating the tests to reflect the changed messages so derbyall passes. Also, I don't know what gotchas might be out in the locale files -- would be another thing to follow up on. Anything else, derby developers?
also that I may find "bugs" in the messages that would require a redo of the documentation...
In my opinion, the docs (including any doc patches submitted) should be changed to match the code.
