This way we can easily check how many errors occurred, and stop jextract if needed. Of course, this led to several changes, as I realized that we were being inconsistent on our usage of the property file. I now made sure that all messages use some key in the property file (e.g. no lone strings). This might be important if jextract message will ever be translated to languages other than English.
