I think another possibility would be to
1) Delete the classes directory
2) Add your project to CVS
Now you don't have the classes directory in CVS, but of course if someone
pulls the code from CVS they can build the classes directory for themselves
using Eclipse, Ant, or whatever.

You can implement this just as you would in any other programming

variables. You can do this using scriptlets, as I see you doing here.
You can also do this using the JSTL (for more info, see the Jakarta
Taglibs project),
You have definitely outgrown PropertyMessageResources ;-) You would be much
