Hello,

     Earlier this year Ramesh Mandava ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) contributed 
changes to Xalan-J Interpretive so that it would use classes that extend 
ListResourceBundle to represent its messages rather than using properties 
files.

     Currently, XSLTC (Xalan-J Compiled) uses classes that extend the 
abstract ResourceBundle class to do the same thing; it uses named constant 
integers as indices into the arrays of error messages defined by those 
classes.  That scheme seems a little fragile, so for consistency with the 
interpretive processor, I went through and changed the XSLTC 
ResourceBundles to ListResourceBundles; Gordon Chiu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
made the changes necessary to retrieve the messages using string keys 
instead of integer array indices.

     All these changes are pending on my computer, but I wanted to provide 
anyone who feels that the XSLTC messages should remain as ResourceBundles 
rather than ListResourceBundles with the opportunity to object.

Thanks,

Henry
