1. Re: how to do newlines in messages.properties?
p.s. i don't want newline in the property value. i just want newline in the properties file for readability.

2. Re: how to do newlines in messages.properties?
AFAIK you can not do it, you could if you used XML for messages.properties unfortunately, there is no built-in option available to treat a ResourceBundle as an XML file. The sad part is a PropertyResourceBundle does use a Properties object to load the bundle; however, the use of the load method is hard-coded into the class, and the newer loadFromXML() method is not used.

Mmmm, maybe seam implements this... in that case, XML based resources bundles should work... and if it doesn't support them it still might be a good idea to request the feature in JIRA...

It would be great!
Use of native2ansi should stay in the past.
In relationg to Xml property file I see one big shortcoming - it is plain without hierarchy. I would like to write something like this:
<entry key="org.company.project">
<entry key="entity">
<entry key="Product">product</entry>
<entry key="Contract">contract</entry>
</entry>
<entry key="message">
...
</entry>
</entry>
