Description Uwe Voigt CLA 2005-06-14 01:04:15 EDT 
It would be great if the externalize strings refactoring could detect strings like:

"some text " + argument + " other text " + nextArgument

and modify it to an expression:

MessageFormat.format(Messages.getString("key", new Object[] { argument,
nextArgument}));

This was harder before Java 1.5 when autoboxing was not available

This should be handled by
- Externalize String wizard
- NON-NLS quick fix
