Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-4725:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for digging into this, Knut. The issue comes up because of the
localization work being done on the 10.6 messages. As you have noticed, quoting
isn't done consistently across our messages. I'm not confident that the
messages appear correctly today on all possible vms. This is an area of Derby
which is largely untested.
> Fix message build so that double quotes aren't inserted for English messages.

> Key: DERBY-4725
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4725
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Localization
> Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Priority: Minor
>
> When messages_en.properties is generated from messages.xml, single quotes are
> turned into double quotes. For instance, the text for 42XAC is turned into
> ''INCREMENT BY'' value can not be zero.
> This doesn't seem to cause any harm. MessageFormat does the right thing and
> strips out the extra quote. If the messages only have single quotes,
> MessageFormat also does the right thing and leaves the phrase single-quoted.
> The double quotes, however, are confusing to the people who are localizing
> the 10.6 messages. There would be less confusion if the build did not insert
> extra quotes.
