Is there some circular dependence? ... one file invoking the read of 
another, that reads another etc. that reads the original file in the

(there are a few places where it is checked whether a certain file
exists) prevents that if-block from being entered.

These messages are defined in WEB-INF/maple/locales/en.mpl.
Perhaps this file is not readable for some reason or was not read during
the Make process ... it is read from I18n.mpl.
