Sorry for causing confusion, I was being too brief. I meant that the mechanism we currently have in LUNI (i.e. a resource file of externalized strings and a helper class like Msg to load the string and format it etc.) can be duplicated in each module that has externalized strings e.g. for exception messages. Of course, each module would only have its own messages. In this case the code is quite trivial so I don't see a big problem with duplication. At runtime, each module is a self-contained JAR with it's o.a.h.<foo>.internal.Msg and string catalog in the JAR file.
