public static java.lang.String getMessage(java.lang.String pkg,
                                          java.lang.String name,
                                          java.lang.Object[] args)

Locate the given message and merge it with the given arguments using the MessageFormat class. This method uses ResourceBundle to locate a bundle called org.jpublish.messages and then pulls the appropriate message.

Parameters:

name - The message name

args - The arguments

Returns:

The message

getMessage

public static java.lang.String getMessage(java.lang.String pkg,
                                          java.lang.String name,
                                          java.lang.Object[] args,
                                          java.util.Locale locale)

Locate the given message and merge it with the given arguments using the MessageFormat class. This method uses ResourceBundle to locate a bundle called org.jpublish.messages and then pulls the appropriate message.

The pkg argument is used to prepend a package name to the bundle name so that different JARs can have different bundles. For example, if pkg is com.foo then the Bundle should be located by the classloader at com/foo/messages.properties. pkg can be null in which case /messages.properties will be used.

Parameters:

pkg - The package

name - The message name

args - The arguments

locale - The Locale

Returns:

The message

Locate the given message and merge it with the given arguments using the MessageFormat class. This method uses ResourceBundle to locate a bundle called org.jpublish.messages and then pulls the appropriate message.
