Shawn Jiang commented on GERONIMO-4763:
---------------------------------------

Will the native2ascii work with harmony? If not directly do they have an equivalent solution? 
--------------------------------------
I don't know, Harmony should have a bunch of build problems with Geronimo besides this.  If Harmony does not have the equivalent solution. Maybe they should have a feature JIRA open to add this support.   

Anyway, I agree that if we need to support building geronimo with Harmony, we can't apply the patch of this JIRA for now.


is it really neccessary to add additional build complexity?
-------------------------------------
As Kan said, It's really necessary for i18n translation contributors.

> Current i18n properties files are stored in source code repo after they are converted to ascii from native offline.  It's very hard to contribute new translations.
> We should keep native characters in source code while convert them to ascii at build time. maven plugin native2ascii-maven-plugin could be used here:
