These messages are indeed referenced indirectly through org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.problem.ProblemIrritants constants. I can find references to them. Changed the suggested messages to better indicate the subject. |
Please consider adding notes (#) to the property files so translators will know the context of a given message. The subject is not specified, and substitution parameters are not evident. I have clarified, to the best of my limited ability <g>, the messages below. Please let me know if I have incorrectly interpreted the subject/parameters. BTW, where are these messages referenced? I traced them down to org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.problem.ProblemIrritants, but found no references to them or the hardcoded constants. That might help me more accurately clarify messages. ------------------------------------------------ 108 = Must return a result of type {0} # The subject is a method, i.e., "Method must return a result of type 'x' 159 = Must provide either dimension expressions or an array initializer # "Variable (or field) must provide either dimension expressions... 400 = Must implement the inherited abstract method {0} # "Class must implement the inherited abstract method 'x' 441 = Must implement the inherited abstract method {1}, but cannot override it since it is not visible from {0} # "This class must implement the inherited abstract method 'x', but cannot override since it is not visible from 'this class' 412 = Overrides deprecated method from {0} # "This class overrides deprecated method from 'this superclass'
