Hello,
If we really decide to test exception message, I think we could write test
case as follows:
public void test_f(){
.....
catch(SomeException e){
assertEquals(org.apache.util.Msg.getString("K508C"),e.getMessage
());
}
}
Does it work? Because what we want to make sure it that "SomeException" is
really thrown with message K508C. So that's another reason that we should
use Msg.getString rather than explicit string to fill exception
information.

Ok, provided they still pass when I translate the message catalog to
Klingon ;-)
