[ Note:   As there is limit on the  mail size for sending it on this alias I am 
sending the contents in separate mails. 
  This is mail-1 and contains 
 1) patch file for existing files src-patch.diff 
 2) list of files which were affected outside of "res" directories
 3) xpath-res.jar [ localized files and contents in org.apache.xml.utils.res ] ]
 
  Hi:

   It seems that nobody have objection for using ListResourceBundle instead of 
property files for doing I18N/L10N of Xalan.
    
    I am attaching the updated files including the localized files for the 
message strings until Xalan 2.4.1 release.
    
    I also updated the keys to be meaningful strings after defining the static 
constants as Strings. With this the constant strings are directly the keys into 
the contents array and we don't need to have one method call to have conversion 
from integer id to String key.
     This is more clearer to understand. And other advantage is that we don't 
need to worry about keeping the MAX_CODE and MAX_WARNINGS in sync whenver we are
     updating new messages. With the previous way if somebody miss updating 
these values, then eventhough content Array has the localized message, we maynot 
be able to use those messages.
     
     I am attaching the affected files list ( affected-xalan-files.txt), where 
error and warn methods were assuming "int" value for message code before to 
"String" value now. These files are outside "res" directories of 
xalan/xpath/xml.
     
     Can somebody review the contents and update the codebase.
  
     
     
     Thanks
     -Ramesh
