/**
58
 * <p>This class offers some methods to provide internationalization services
59
 * to other projects. All the methods are static.</p>
60
 * 
61
 * <p>The most useful method is {@link #getText(String) getText(key)} (and family),
62
 * which returns the translation associated
63
 * with the provided key. The class must be initialized before getText can be
64
 * used.</p>
65
 * 
66
 * <p>The typical usage sequence would be:</p>
67
 * <ul>
68
 * <li>Add some locale to the prefered locales list: <code>Messages.addLocale(new Locale("es"))</code></li>
69
 * <li>Add some resource file containing translations: <code>Messages.addResourceFamily("text", new File("."))</code></li>
70
 * <li>And finaly getText can be used: <code>Messages.getText("aceptar")</code></li>
71
 * </ul>
72
 * 
73
 * <p>The resource files are Java properties files, which contain <code>key=translation</code>
74
 * pairs, one
75
 * pair per line. These files must be encoded using iso-8859-1 encoding, and unicode escaped
76
 * sequences must be used to include characters outside the former encoding.
77
 * There are several ways to specify the property file to load, see the different
78
 * addResourceFamily methods for details.</p>
