[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.7.1 - how to change site-manage email notification text?

[Walters, Cynthia (cmw6s)]

Hello:

How do I change the text of site-manage email notifications in Sakai 2.7.1-tag (add participants email notifications)?  

In 2.6.2, we were able to change a properties file (site-manage-impl/impl/src/bundle/UserNotificationProvider.properties) and add our wording and user instructions.  

I see now that email templates are being used instead of the properties file approach, such as 'site-manage-impl/impl/src/bundle/notifyAddedParticipants.xml' - I've made changes to it but normal build/deploy/tomcat restarts have no effect.   I would appreciate any guidance on how to make our institution-specific wording changes to the email notifications, even if it means reverting back to the 262 way.  

Thanks,
