Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2001-10-10 22:49:07 EDT 
Currently one can pass a path pattern $nl$ to the Plugin.find() method to get plugin resources 
for the current locale. However, it is not possible to ask for plugin resources corresponding to 
a locale different than the current one. The $nl$ pattern should perhaps be extends with some locale
info, something like 
-  $nl$ : use default locale
-  $nl:en_US$ : lookup in the en_US, then en, then try default.

This is needed in the help system to support a remote installation scenario (docs on a server).

In a 20020321 build I see a find(IPath path, Map override) API that provides 
this functionality. Thanks.  I think you can close this bug.

There is another problem that find does not search correct directories.  I have 
open bug 12463 to report it.

Closing at originator's request.
