Description Dirk Fauth

2014-02-20 04:40:08 EST

With Eclipse 4.4 the new message extension was introduced for plugin-development.

Users should be able to select whether they want to externalize the Strings using the old NLS or the new message extension mechanism.

While creating the properties file should be the same, the Java file generation needs to be slightly different.

In the following blog post you should get some ideas on the Java file generation:

In the linked posts there you should get also some more information on the new message extension if needed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
