Hi Takeshi,

Thank you for your response. I have looked at your code again and now understand how levels can be set in resource bundles.

Having said that, I am not convinced that associating levels to keys in resource bundles is a good idea because there are other possibly better ways of obtaining the same effect. This does not mean the idea is bad, it's just that it is not overwhelmingly convincing. Contrast this with your initial idea about linking message codes (aka messages keys or message codes) in enums with those found in resource bundles. Convinced that it has potential, I started a new project called cai18n to explore exactly this venue.

See http://cai18n.qos.ch/ for details. You can get the code from http://github.com/ceki/cai18n/tree/master

There is a lot to do in cai18n and everyone is welcome to participate.
