Thanks for the response, Gary. I followed the steps you outlined, but still am not seeing my changes reflected. Messages.properties did not get copied to the [dspace-install-directory]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes/ directory (which is empty) after running both "ant init_configs" and "ant update." I copied it manually and restarted tomcat, but still didn't see my changes reflected. I also tried copying Messages.properties to [dspace-install-directory]/config, but that didn't work either.
I did get the following build error when running "mvn clean package:" Failed to delete directory: /usr/local/dspace-1.5.1-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/target. Reason: Unable to delete file /usr/local/dspace-1.5.1-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/target/xmlui-1.5.1/WEB-INF/lib/activation-1.1.jar But the build was successful, and since I'm using jspui, not xmlui, I don't see why this would be an issue. Do you have any other suggestions? Cheers, Eric On 3/23/09 6:38 PM, "Gary Browne" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Eric, Looks like noone has replied to you AFAICS. Let's see how we go... I don't copy the war files, just point tomcat to the [dspace-install-directory]/webapps/jspui directory (in server.xml), so not sure if this will work with your setup. So it looks like you have the Messages.properties file in the right location (I think, from memory) in the source directory. Then you need to run from the [dspace-source]/dspace directory: mvn clean package Then change to your dspace-1.5.1-build.dir directory (cd target/dspace-1.5.1-build.dir) and run: ant init_configs (or maybe 'ant update', if that doesn't work - sorry, just back from 3 months off and a bit rusty). How can you check if it has worked? Check the [dspace-install-directory]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes/ directory for your (updated) Messages.properties file. It should be copied here. Then of course, check your button. Hope this is of help in some small way.
