Description

Components in libraries have the same desire to share common message strings that components in an application do.

My earlier thoughts were to define a way to have a lib.properties for a component library.

However, my current thinking is to extend ComponentMessagesSource (the source for the application message catalog as well) so that component libraries can contribute Resources for message catalogs into the global message catalog (typically, before the app.properties file, so that an application has the ability to override specific component library messages).
