title: Java and GNU gettext for internationalization
body: <p>Has anyone had any experiences developing large Java applications using GNU gettext for internationalization?  I find that I really like having the English text in my source code, but I want to make sure that what I'm doing is practical for the relatively large software project I am part of.</p>
  
  <p>If you have experience with this, what are you using to look up the resources in Java?  I'm currently trying out Gettext Commons (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/gettext-commons/" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/gettext-commons/</a>), which seems to be working well so far.</p>
  
  <p>Any alternatives to gettext that keep the original text in your source code?  A similar tool that is supported on Windows would be great.</p>
