In the 1.3 and Merlin workspaces, the following source file is an unused duplicate:

src/share/classes/sun/rmi/rmid/resources/rmid_zh.properties

This sould file should be removed because its presence is confusing; it is a duplicate of the corresponding file in the "sun/rmi/server" directory hierarchy:

[terrier] 57 % ll src/share/classes/sun/rmi/server/resources
total 11
drwxrwxrwx 2 jones 512 Mar 27 15:22 SCCS/
-r--r--r-- 1 jones 2174 Mar 27 15:22 rmid.properties

-r--r--r-- 1 jones 2408 Mar 13 17:52 rmid_zh.properties
