Now I understand your original request. Sorry for my stupidity.
No, not all *.properties files have to be outside of glibj.zip.
E.g. we use property files to define locale data. These need to be still
inside glibj.zip. Others should be outside to be editable by the
administrator of the GNU classpath installation. Can you please file a
bug report for this?


Thanks,
