Description Mindaugas Idzelis

Navigate:
Search->NLS Keys(tab)

Click on Browse next to property file name.
The dialog that comes up shows you all the projects in your workspace.
Opening up projects do not show you the JAR files within those projects.

If you have a source attached to a JAR file within a project, you should be 
able to select a .properties file within the JAR.

The intention of the tool has been to check the files you are working on. After 
the fact checking would be a good enhancement. Post 2.0

Not that easy since Eclipse is resource based and the properties file in this
case wouldn't be a resource (e.g. could not add markers to it).

Nothing planned for 2.1 unless there's support for non-resources from Platform Core.

Chaning state from assigned later to resolved later. Assigned later got 
introduced by the last bug conversion and is not a supported Eclipse bug state.

Marking as invalid since the 'NLS Keys' page got removed. There's now an improved tool under Source > Find Broken NLS Keys...
