Add locale jars as ClassPath entries in derby.jar
-------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-612
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-612
     Project: Derby
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Build tools, Documentation, Localization  
    Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner


Adding the locale jars (derbyLocale_es.jar, derbyLocale_de_DE.jar etc.) as 
ClassPath manifest entries in derby.jar would remove the need for users to add 
them to their class path. Thus the only jars required in the user's classpath  
would be:

derbynet.jar - running network server (already brings in derby.jar)

derby.jar - running embedded

This would add to the ease of use for Derby. The manifest entries could be 
generated based off the list of locales or justr hardcoded in the build target 
for derby.jar (since they change infrequently).

Since ClassPath entrries are ignored if the jars do no exist, this would do no 
harm in an environment where none or a subset of the locare jars are shipped.
