18ngen Utility
The i18ngen utility parses message catalogs (XML files) to produce Logger and
TextFormatter classes used for localizing the text in log messages. The top-level
message catalogs are compiled into Java classes and properties files. The i18ngen
utility also creates or updates the i18n_user.properties file. Any errors, warnings,
or informational messages are sent to stderr.

message catalog. The default target directory is the
current directory.
