Well, there's <http://java.sun.com/products/jilkit/> and
<http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/intl/>, but they look
Sun-specific (after a cursory overview).  O'Reilly has a book on this coming out
in September <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaint/> that might help.  This
article from DDJ <http://www.ddj.com/articles/1998/9801/9801f/9801f.htm> might
help too.  Here're another couple of handy ones:
