A. Is this a potential way to do it?
1. Create an ooo-site/trunk/content/xx/java/ directory.
2. Create leftnav.mdtext and index.mdtext files there.
3. The content/xx/java/index.mdtext would become the English Language
version that
We adopt for the target.
If further "breakout" is required, it can be handled in that directory
at a later time.
In "xx" we try to avoid too many subdirectories. The Java file could
find a place in the "product" directory, and be referenced from the
leftnav in that directory (extended a few hours ago).
in general, I would agree with you. However in this well-known case
"I've a problem with Java resp. JRE - What to do?" I would make an
exception here as it is easier for the average user to remember
"openoffice.org/java/" resp. "openoffice.org/xx/java/". Yes, it's in the
dialog box but IMHO not clickable - as long no core developer will
create this functionality.

I think there is the same problem with java.html versus java.htm
as well. "openoffice.org/java" is just easier and more-flexible
at the destination.
Concerning message boxes. I don't think there is an east way to use
standard message-box resources to produce a URL. We are talking
about GUI work instead, and having it be internationalized. I
think this takes us too far from the least that can possibly
work -- and assist users immediately.
[Side Note: This might be possible with a button for Help
though. Or put the URL in a button label. I have not
checked further, but the idea came up in the WinForms case
at<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1833747/clickable-url-in-a-winform-message-box>.
I am a bit wary of live links in dialog boxes. Unlike browser
links, it is not easy for the user to know that the link is to
the location indicated in the message.
When you remember the text you have suggested I'm pretty sure the user
will know that the URL is directly connected with the text. ;-)
We are also creating a small problem with having a URL at all,
since derivatives and knock-offs probably won't change the
messages. In this case, having users taken care of seems to have
clear precedence.

Ah, yes. Another argument to separate the Java text into an own webpage
and sub-dir. Then we can control, change or delete it without
influencing other files in other dirs.
