Description Philipp Kursawe CLA 2009-04-17 02:59:47 EDT
There should be checkbox on the "New Plugin-Project" Wizard that would externalize Manifest Strings right during project creation.
If the workspace settings for the Plugin-Compiler has set the level of "Externalized Strings" to "Warning" or "Error" the checkbox would be checked by default. It should then also be disabled (or only when "Error" is set in the compiler warnings preferences) or if the user unchecks it, the wizard should display a warning that unchecking it will lead to warnings (or errors).

Or to reduce clutter in the wizard: if the workbench settings are set to "Warning" or "Error" for non-externalized bundle strings, then the wizard should generate the externalization behind the scenes automatically.

It should then also use the suggested naming scheme as propoosed in my change request #272641.
