This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Please see <http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/BrowseList?listName=nbdev&by=thread&from=14879> Basically, the point is that for compilation, locale specific additions are not necessary. However, for execution and debugging, messages, errors, etc. should come out in the correct language and therefore locale specific jars should be available. Optimally, the programmer shouldn't need to do anything besides providing those jars. The layer file specification of the base jars should pick up all the locale specific variants.
Am raising to P2 since l10n team has requested this be fixed for patch or next release, since users are not able to see junit runtime messages at all in localized language. They have analyzed all i18n issues and this is one in their top list. (rather 33037) ken.frank@sun.com
Not completely sure what this is about but probably obsolete. You can add whatever JARs you like to a library, and whatever libraries you like to a project. If you put some locale-specific JARs in the library, then great.
