Re: [Dspace-tech] missing Messages.properties file - re-post
thanks, Mark, I have forgot to mention that the problem has been solved. Two people helped me offline. Basically I need to go to github to download the Messages.properties manually and put it in [resources] directory (I created [resources] directory because it's not there), and rebuild it. I never suspected that the rebuild is so simple and easy. Thank you very much for your input.

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.

Re: [Dspace-tech] missing Messages.properties file - re-post
I don't get any response for my previous posting a week ago. So try again. (please see the description below for the problem I encountered.) My installation is definitely missing the critical Messages.properties file. The reason, I guess, may be that I downloaded "dspace-5.1-release.tar.gz", which probably doesn't contain Messages.properties. Can anyone tell me if that is why I don't have Messages.properties. Thanks so much. If that's really the reason, what is the remedy? Here is my directory listing under /local/home/dspace/dspace-5.1-release which is [dspace-source] README NOTICE LICENSE_HEADER LICENSE pom.xml LICENSES_THIRD_PARTY build.properties.orig target dspace build.properties Thank you in advance.

It simply doesn't exist! My question: Where is this file hided? My another question is: Is this the only way to change my label from metadata.dc.contributor.advisor to advisor?
