Him Guarev,
I tried what you suggested but the errors only appears when using
using the flex localization.
My Module locales are located in
-projectHome
-->locale
---->en_US
-->src
The flex project that uses the module puts the "module home" project
in its source path, and since the module uses locales (under [project
home dir]locale\en_US) I want the module to include these locales at
compile time.
However, when compiling the main app (the shell) it complains about
the module's locale files (ModuleTexts.properties for example)
How does the main app knows about the locales ?
It reads the [ResourceBundle("ModuleTexts")] from the module file and
looks for them at it's own project, not looking inside the modules
project to see if the locales are there.
That's seems reasonable, since it doesn't uses the project itself, but
the source path, in which there is no information of the locale path.
How I can get rid off these errors ? include the locale properties
files inside the shell app. I did this only for testing, since it's
tears apart the module encapsulation and add extra responsibility for
someone using this module...

I uploaded the 2 flex projects so anyone can see the error:

Thanks again.
