Re: [cinjug-users] externalized strings

[Bill Horst <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the IBM Websphere Information Center, an 'Externalized
String' is a string held in a properties file, where it can be
translated into another language, rather than hard coded in the Java
source.

What does externalized string mean and how do they
