You can browse Playframework's source on GitHub.

https://github.com/playframework/playframework/blob/master/framework/src/play/src/main/scala/play/api/i18n/Messages.scala

I think that is the file you are interested in. Hopefully you are familiar with Scala, the Java API just ends up calling these Scala classes.
