/**
 * An internationalization / localization helper class which reduces
 * the bother of handling ResourceBundles and takes care of the
 * common cases of message formating which otherwise require the
 * creation of Object arrays and such.
 *
 * <p>The StringManager operates on a package basis. One StringManager
 * per package can be created and accessed via the getManager method
 * call.
 *
 * <p>The StringManager will look for a ResourceBundle named by
 * the package name given plus the suffix of "LocalStrings". In
 * practice, this means that the localized information will be contained
 * in a LocalStrings.properties file located in the package
 * directory of the classpath.
 *
 * <p>Please see the documentation for java.util.ResourceBundle for
 * more information.
