Version 1.0.9 of I18N Messages and Logging has introduced a new I18N Ant task that allows you to internationalize your Ant scripts. The new Ant task is an extension of the core <echo> task. It allows you to either echo internationalized messages or store i18n messages in an Ant property. See the documentation on this Ant task at:

The I18N Messages and Logging project provides an easy to use API that allows you to incorporate internationalized (I18N) messages into your Java applications. Its features include obtaining and logging internationalized messages, creating a hierarchy of localized exceptions and the auto-generation of localized resource bundles.

There are just a few easy-to-use classes included in i18nlog that provide these features. It includes Msg, the core class in i18nlog, that looks up localized messages in your resource bundles and formats them, dynamically replacing {0}-type placeholders with runtime values. There is also a logging framework included that allows you to log messages in different locales, and allows you to switch the locale used by the logging framework on the fly. Out-of-box, i18nlog depends on Apache Commons Logging to provide the actual log mechanism, but you are free to utilize any logging framework you choose with a minimal amount of additional coding needed (and no coding changes are needed if you use the commons-logging mechanism to switch logging frameworks).... read more
