I read about UTF-8 problem , but for me I never really had it , I wrote Java I18N back when it was at 1.2 , just fix the encoding in ur editor. So this is not an area that required innovation in my opinion.
The old-fashion resource bundle is well integrated in the development environments , u can edit ur keys & values for multiple locals in a table and almost all Java developers know it as drinking water. I end-up buying 2 books online and they didn't have any explanation other than the compiled-time static keys. I think big corporates should just give us the basic , if they want to innovate ,just leave a room for us. I loved how sun always kept java backward compatible , like the use of @deprecated annotation. I remember when M$ lunched their new office with those crazy toolbar and almost everyone in the lab asked me ... dude how can I print ? I have almost 10 years experience in Java (I wrote , EJB, ApectJ , cluster and real-time application with Terracotta and currently developing software for the stocks market ) and yet I have to read a manual to write some strings (with very scarce resources about GWT) . For me , what M$ did to Office and what Google is doing to GWT is the definition of insanity . So take this , Aladdin's definition of insanity , when a developer develop a software and ask you to read a manual to use it ... software should be intuitive ! Any I had to develop my own thing based on the Dictionary ,but sadly it's JavaScript !!
