A fair bit of the opensource stuff I do is i18ned (or will be over time) and I 
have used localized exceptions in the past. As a matter of fact at one stage 
I had extensions of all the standard exceptions. ie we had things like

LocalizedIllegalAccessException()
LocalizedIllegalStateException()
...

So I can see the need for it. However what I started doing after that was that 
instead of putting localized string messages into the exception I ended up 
putting error codes into the exceptions and putting special handling in my 
log/error reporting routines.

So I can see a use. I guess I am wondering how you are going about doing it. 
In our case we ended up with close to 300 cut-n-paste localized exception 
classes which seems a bit excessive I guess ;)
