[josm-dev] i18n -- why not Locales & Bundles?

[Jonathan Bennett]

Can anyone tell me why JOSM uses the xnap tools for i18n rather than the 
standard Java approach of Locales and StringBundles?

My primary reason for asking is that I can't get JOSM to build under 
NetBeans -- the latest version of the xnap-commons library lacks the 
translation functions used.

I'm willing to start hacking at the code to eliminate this dependency, 
but I want to check it won't be wasted effort first...
