That usually indicated a lack of "interest", not a lack of "concern".

None that I'm aware of. There are several reasons for Craig's decision not to
use ResourceBundle for application messaging when he originally wrote Struts.
For more details on that decision, search the archives.

Writing your own extension of MessageResource is very simple. Checkout these
4 classes to see how its done:
org.apache.struts.util.MessageResourcesFactory.java
org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources.java
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory.java
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources.java
Although, keep in mind that we will be deprecating this api and using
"Resources" from Commons (it is currently in the sandbox, but will be
released soon I'm sure)
