That's what I think too.

If you want to do serious development, you need to stay in tune with what's
going on in the java space and that's only possible by reading articles on
the net.  The vast majority of all articles is published in english. Even
people from non-english speaking countries write their papers in english nowadays.

Besides that I don't believe that most non-english communities are strong
enough to give durable support for their language. If so, why isn't there a
significant amount of non-english xdoclet howtos in other languages? To support
more than the default programming language just eats up resources, which
could otherwise be used in development of new features etc.

Furthermore if there would be information in e.g. german only, than this
information would be almost lost for every non-german speaker. That doesn't make
any sense to me. English is the language of software developers. The only
exception is shallow programming with things like VBA etc, but I believe that
is not the same league (not even the same game) as xdoclet.

To rephrase that in one sentence. If you're doing serious development you've
learned (or will learn) english anyway.

Just my two cents.
