I notice that we have currently a problem with duplicated labels in different 
applications.

Take
   <value xml:lang="en">Estimated Start Date</value>
for instance

It was certainly present in
   ManufacturingUiLabels.xml
before any other files. But it's now also present in
   WorkEffortUiLabels.xml
   ProjectMgrUiLabels.xml

Bruno has proposed a python script to deal with that (and other issues) in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1698 but there is currently some problems with it. I think it's possible to amend and will try it. I don't know anything about python, but it does not look like a challenge.

Anyway, the point of this mail is to try to make aware developers about this kind of issues. But, as I know well it's a lot of tedious work to identify duplicate labels, I guess the best would be ro run, from time to time, Bruno's script as soon as it will be safe.

BTW I think I will close OFBIZ-1698 (see my last comment) and open a new one for duplicate labels only, if there are any concerns about closing of course.

Any other ideas ?

PS : Though as Java is the primary language used in OFBiz we could convert the script to a Java service which could be run async, or at will. Then we could have more manpower around this issue, WDYT ?
