If I recall correctly, jakarta-ant executes 'set' and then parses the
output to populate the variables when the tag <property
environment="foo"/> is used...
See [http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/property.html] for
the property tag documentation.

Yes, it's a solution, but...

There is a whole set of objects designed to work with i18n in Java. I
don't think this is the place to enumerate them all and direct you to
the i18n trail of Sun's Java Tutorial
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html]. These
objects permit not only to use different messages but also treat the
differences in formating dates, currencies...
