Still thinking on the line of customizing English strings, I am just
wondering if there is no recommended way at the moment, then is it
possible to have extension point where messages.properties file can be
specified? Something like
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/sametime/v7r5m1/ind ex.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.sametime.admin.doc/st_adm_comm_cu stommessage_t.html
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks.

No, the English strings are not designed to be replaced. Imagine
multiple different plugins trying to do that and then all running in one
application: which replacement wins? So opening the jar and changing
the properties seems like the only way to go (other than perhaps faking
a locale and treating the strings you want to replace as translations
for that locale)...

Why faking a locale. The last part of the locale is designed to be
application specific.
messages_de_AT_beso.properties at least it is for ResourceBundle I don't
know how NLS uses this kind of thing.

Sometimes a word could have a different meaning in a tool which is
targeted for a specific industry e.g. resource, perspective etc.
Though I see the point that different plugins overriding same thing, but
these scenarios can be applied to any other objects as well.
There were other thoughts:
a. Class can be removed from internal package so that individual can
provide another messages.properties.
b. messages.properties file from user defined nl fragment should be
given preference.
But now I tried messages_en.properties instead of messages.properties in
fragment and it worked.
Thanks Ed and Tom.
Regards,
Parvez
