Package org.opends.messages

Defines all the messages that may be used in the Directory Server and tools. Localizable message format strings are stored in properties files and are used to generate MessageDescriptors at build time. Descriptors sepcify a category, severity, and ordinal value that is unique to other messages of the same category. For the server in particular, these three values form an ID that is unique among all messages in OpenDS system. Descriptors also specify a key that is used to access the locale-sensitive format string from the property file that may also contain argument specifiers that are used to parameterize messages according to the rules of java.util.Formatter.
