Description Anthony Hunter

There are strings in:
org.eclipse.zest.core.messages.ZestUIMessages
org.eclipse.zest.core.messages.ZestErrorMessages

But there is no way to test them.

We need to update the examples so that translators, such as those in the Babel project, can translate and test the strings.

Thanks for pointing this out Anthony.  Looking at the messages, the UI message are not used anymore (they were used for debugging in the past, but they should be removed).  

I think I should change the error messages to use the SWT error instead.  Since Zest is supposed to build on SWT (IMHO) it doesn't make sense for us to be recreating error messages.

I will clean this up.

I have removed the Zest messages and now we use the SWT ones.
