Hi Claudia,
Yes, that does help. I think users are sometimes confused where to
find some types of
messages. That is, we (meaning the DSpace community of know hows)
inform them
in Messages.Properties for 90-95% of the time to find a message for
the jspui. But, some
text, as you said below, are hard coded in the java, jsp, or the
config files.
I guess in the future documentation, we might want to codify with a
table where all the different
types of messages reside or attempt to move hard-coded messages still
around in the java or jsp's into the Messages.properties
file (ooh, ooh, I vote for modularization!).

Hi Jeffrey,
there is one further issue
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources/
Messages.properties
will only affect the webapplication UI part.
Non webapplication related texts will still be taken from the dspace-
api, e.g. the cron jobs run like the sub daily.
Hope that helps

Thanks Stuart. All documentation will be adjusted accordingly.
And I learned something new about Messages.properties today. I've
not been correctly placing it in the right place. I'll bet I'm not
the only one.

Hi Jeff,
1.
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources/
Messages.properties
is the correct location.
2. Yes - I think you are right about i18n and themes needing
to be
created by hand (upgrade or fresh installation). As this is the
source,
there isn't really any difference between fresh install or upgrade.
Thanks,

Subject: [Dspace-devel] Documentation--confirmation of information
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
