Description

Augment the exceptions thrown by components and plugins with a methodology supporting internationlization (i18n) of error messages.

The framework would promote the use of readily translatable error message tables by deprecating the use of the standard new Exception(message:String). Each exception thrown by a plugin or component would have a code wrapped in an error object for easy use. A JUnit test object would be available to extend by component developers to immediately check for missing exception strings.

For a working example, look to the xmlbeans-maven-plugin in the codohaus subversion repository.

A patch will be attached for a single component for review, followed by a comprehensive patch of the core.
