Description Wojtek Bok CLA 2005-08-25 11:20:58 EDT 
Most property files use a scratch hierarchy, where the key has text separated by
(usually) a period:

menu.edit = Edit
menu.save = Save
person.edit.title = Edit Person
person.edit.prompt.name = Name
person.edit.prompt.password = Your Password

and so on.

Could a hiearchy view be created for property files which would build a tree of
keys?

menu
 - edit
 - save
person
 - edit
  - title
 - prompt
  - name
  - password

Clicking on a leaf item would open the file and place the cursor at the key
location. Hovering would display the value?

Ideally this would encompass ALL property files in the project, as our language
files are split up by use case.

Moving to text.

This could be an option in the Outline view.
