Description
APT fails to lookup localized strngs in apt's resource file with messages like the following:

warning: compiler message file broken: key=apt.warn.FactoryNotFound arguments=ErrorFactory, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}

This causes the failure of the test: test/tools/apt/Compile/compile.sh

EVALUATION No regression test is needed - the CR has been marked as noreg-other, as we already have regression tests that compare the output of apt against a golden file (such as test/tools/apt/Compiler/compile.sh) that should cover this issue.

EVALUATION This problem is due to a bug in JavacMessages.addBundle(String bundleName) that has been introduced after the recent fix of 6406133. This method should reset the list of current bundles - so that any subsequent call to JavacMessages.getBundle will effectively refresh the contents of the messages' cache. Since current bundes are not reset after a call to JavacMessages.addBundle, this means that the contents of the messages' cache never get updated (they only get updated if there's a change in the default locale). This causes a failure in APT, as com/sun/tools/apt/util/Bark (which extends Log) needs to add another resource bundle to the bundle list managed by JavacMessages.
