Javas class loading mechanism probably tries to find
net/sourceforge/surveyos/openjump/plugins/superselecttool/main/...properties,
and not resources/net/..., ie., the folder "resources" will be interpreted as a
top level Java package.

I'm not sure about the internals of the I18N class, but I strongly suppose it
will be best to have the resources copied by some mechanism (ant?).
