Description:
I tried changing the locale but Creator doesn't seem to generate supported
locale information in the faces-config.xml it creates.


I would expect to see something like this

<faces-config>
<application>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
<supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
</faces-config>

No locale-config was generated at all.

Evaluation:
The <locale-config> element serves two primary purposes:

* Advisory - providing information that can be used, for example,
  to compose the select items for a "select language" dropdown,
  based only on the locales actually supported by a particular
  web application.

* Pick the assumed locale for a non-Faces request (such as for
  the welcome page, when there was no previous Faces page from
  which to copy a selected locale.  If there is no <locale-config>
  information available, this defaults to the default locale
  of the app server.

For Thresher, we should provide GUI to support building up a <locale-config>
element, and storing it in another config file (perhaps
/WEB-INF/locale-config.xml) so that it can be managed separately.  This change
should be in conjunction with other improvments in the localizability of a
Creator-created app, including:
* Ability to easily bind to message resource values via <f:loadBundle>.
* Ability to dynamically add key/value pairs to a resource bundle,
  from the page designer (and bind to the new pair at the same time)
