This is based > on what's described in the MessageFormat api doc) > - mismatched characters such as < (when meaning smaller than), > (when > meaning larger than), % etc. > - identification of invalid characters, specifically characters in the range > of 0x00-0x1f (which are ASCII) and 0x7f-0xff > Note that such a tool cannot be definite (except about the missing messages) > because the English messages are not following very strict formatting, and > because what's acceptable syntax/grammar in one language may not work in > another. > A discussion about a first cut at such a tool can be found at: > http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.db.derby.devel/32187 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
