As I begin to revise the documentation for the next release, I may asking for clarification
from time to time from those of you who wrote parts of the code.

Today, I should like to ask if someone will confirm my "hunch". I'm going to reference Section 7.2, pg. 115/116 (using the 1.5.2 pdf file). This has to do with the Source Directory Layout.

1.      The current documentation has under the modules/
                -- jspui
--src/main/resources It suggests this is where Messages.properties file should reside for the
                local installation.

Question/Comment. Please confirm that this is indeed true. Personal experience has me placing it in
                the 
[dspace-source]/dspace-api/target/classes/Messages.properties
        
If true, I will also make adjustments under the upgrade and installation section to reference this. It was
        lacking and many users keep asking about the Messages.properties files.

        I will also make notations regarding the xmlui flavor of the file.

2.      --  xmlui
        --src/main/webapp/
                --i18n/
                --themes/

The two directories 'i18n/' and 'themes/' need to be created manually. At least my installation, as an upgrade, did
        not install this.

Question/Comment: Please confirm that (1) site who perform upgrade will need to create these manually; and, (2) what a new, fresh installation will present--that is, will the directories be created automatically or would the user need to create them.


Final comment, I realize that all this will/may/probably change in DSpace 2.0, but many will be up to a year behind upgrades, as we
all know happens with institutions.

TIA,

Jeff
