Created attachment 25169 [details] Patch externalizing strings Strings "catalina.base" and "catalina.home" are present multiple times in the code base. Most of them should be replaced by a reference to a constant.
Possible patch available for review under http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/trunk-catalina_home_base.patch
Thanks for the patch. Applied to TC 7 in r991959 and r991965. I won't propose for backport to TC 6.
