Kan Ogawa commented on GERONIMO-4763:
-------------------------------------
Lars,
When doing checkout and diff i18n properties from svn repository, it is a big
merit to read them directly without native2ascii tool.
Also, if a simple translating work, translator doesn't need to always prepare
jdk itself (including native2ascii) and it is possible to edit i18n properties
easily and effectively on various editor (e.g. notepad, vim, and emacs, etc.).
So I voted here.
> i18n properties files should be converted to ascii at build time.

> Current i18n properties files are stored in source code repo after they are
> converted to ascii from native offline. It's very hard to contribute new
> translations.
> We should keep native characters in source code while convert them to ascii
> at build time. maven plugin native2ascii-maven-plugin could be used here:
