CheckStyle - like many other programs - uses the
java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle() method which returns the appropriate
bundle for the '''default''' Locale. So I will set the default Locale to the US
value. Before that I store the actual one (or the 'key') as property and
restore that after invoking CheckStyle. Because I need (simple) access to the
Java API, I write that inside <script> tasks:

== Using your own classes inside <script> ==
When you use <script language="javascript"> you are using the Java API. Ok so
far. It�s simple to use java.io.File for getting information about a particular
file or creating complex strings with java.util.StringBuffer. But there are two
problems:

-Ok, now we can use Ant�s classes and the whole javax.*-stuff. But if I need
some custom classes? For example I have to create a reverse sorted list of
files. Getting the list of files is no problem. Sorting can be done by
java.util.TreeSet. But I need a custom Comparator which does the specific
comparison. So I implement one and store it in ${basedir}/ext.

While downloading the Milestone 4 of Eclipse I got an idea: why should I
download all the files without knowing if there are corrupt? Ok, the following
scenario:
* define a list with all names of the files to be downloaded
* download the file and its MD5 check file
- * get the MD5 checksum for the downloaded file
+ * compute the MD5 checksum for the downloaded file
* compare that value with the one stored in the MD5-file
And for faster handling:
* don�t download files if there are already downloaded and valid
