You are correct. 'dspace-5.1-release.tar.gz' is the precompiled version, and Messages.properties is packed inside one of the .jar files that it downloads. > If that's really the reason, what is the remedy? If you unpack a copy of the file, edit it, and place it in [DSpace]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes, I think that copy will be found before the one in the JAR, but I have not tested this. You can unpack it this way: cd [DSpace] jar xf webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib/dspace-api-5.1.jar Messages.properties That should result in a copy of the file being placed in [DSpace]. -- Mark H.
