I18nable	Classes that support locale context management (see general description in I18n) must have some method to set an instance's context.
I18nListener	Interface for listeners interested in locale changes.
L10nResource	Represents a localization resource.
L10nResourceFactory	I18n uses a L10nResourceFactory implementation to find and load actual resources.

I18nEvent	Represents events fired when a locale was changed in a particular context.

Package sji18n Description

Simple Java internationalization api - main entry point is class I18n.
Features:

• Supports a pluggable localization resource format and lookup mechanism.
• Supports renaming (often hard-coded) resource names at deploy time.
• Supports setting a different locale for logging messages and application objects.
• Supports dynamic locale switching by notifying interested listeners of locale changes.
• Supports multiple locale contexts within a single runtime.

Typical use is illustrated in the following example:

    package some.pckg;
    import sji18n.I18n;

    public class SomeClass {
        private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger("some.pckg.SomeClass");
        private static final I18n I18N = new I18n("SomeResource");

        public void someMethod() {
            ...
            try {
                showUserMessageWithIcon(new ImageIcon(I18N.getImage("someImage")),
                                        I18N.getMessage("someMessage", var1, var2));
                ...
                LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, I18N.getLogMessage("onSomeSuccess", var3));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                LOGGER.log(Level.WARNING, I18N.getLogString("onSomeError"), e);
            }
        }
    }
