Plugin Messages

I am struggling with implementing locale messages for a plugin I am developing. I am basing my development from the ToDo Plugin v3. In that plugin, there is a /messages directory where they have a few different locale messages .properties files. In the page.xhtml file, I am attempting to reference one of my messages defined in a .properties file with the #{msgs.Key} syntax, but it simply just won’t render the value of the key in the .properties file. I’ve tried to name the properties file with just _en and en_us, neither make a difference.

This is happening on a vanilla 8.2 local instance. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I did find this related post here. The /messages directory was missing from my build.xml (there doesn’t seem to really be a “standard” build file out there anywhere), so I did include that so now the /messages directory is being copied to my resulting .zip file from the build, but still not showing up unfortunately.

After messing around with a bunch of different files, renaming the plugin and plugin files, I think essentially the issue was the messages files missing from my build and _en_us was not the correct locale suffix. Just have _en as the suffix for the properties files seemed to be the final tweak after getting the /messages directory included in the build.
