        @param Storage
            Specifies the storage used to load and store - if
            the ReadOnly state allows it - the string table data.

        @param ReadOnly
            Specifies if the resource should be read only,
            see <code>XStringResourceManager::isReadOnly</code>

        @param locale
            Specifies if the locale first to be used as current locale. Internally 
            the <code>XStringResourceManager::setCurrentLocale</code> method is
            called with FindClosestMatch=true.
            see <code>XStringResourceManager::setCurrentLocale</code>

        @param BaseName
            Base string for the file names used to store the locale data.
            The locale data is stored in Java properties files also following
            the corresponding naming sceme. The files will be named like this:
            "[BaseName]_[Language]_[Country].properties", 
            e.g. "MyBaseName_en_US.properties"
            If an empty string is passed for BaseName, "strings" will be used
            as BaseName.

        @param Comment
            Comment stored first in each properties file followed by a line
            feed character. The line feed character is added automatically
            and hasn't to be part of the comment string. The caller is re-
            sponsible that the passed string is a valid comment in a Java
            properties file, e.g. "# My strings". The string may be empty.
