Are we feeling a little domineering today?
No actually I'm not domineering, simply exhausted. These 500+ changes certainly discouraged me, hence my reaction. I should keep
cool, and I will...
Just because internationalizing code is a best practice doesn't mean it's the
ONLY practice, and I don't think we want to force
it for any and all users of OFBiz (ie those writing their own applications,
etc).
That's the thing with best practices: we want them and we want to recommend
them and for the main code base even ask people to
follow them. We also want primary and secondary/other best practices. Still,
not being omniscient we don't want to think we know
everything and not have any flexibility in the framework.
Yes I was re-thinking about it, and it occured to me that of course we should
keep it and simply discourage its usage in OFBiz stock
(yes, you contributors, commiters, ... :o)

Hi,
I think we should deprecate, and at term remove the <fail-message> tag. There
are 500+ ot them in current code. They are not
localisable. So for me it's a bad practice, and we should prevent people to
use this tag anymore.
I can't see from the top of my head if there are some other aspects in OFBiz
which encourage such bad practices (not
localisable).
What do you think ?
