Re: [e4-dev] Eclipse Internationalization with the new message extension and the Eclipse translation pattern
|
Hi,
>From the lack of feedback it seems the platform is not really interested
in this feature.
Still we - e(fx)clipse - would like to advertise this way of NLS to our
(e4) users. I talked to Dirk and he's no objections moving it to
efxclipse-runtime where our core bundles only depend on e4-di (no fx
involved).
Anyone can make use of it no matter if they use e4+SWT, e4+FX, e4-di
only, ... . Any objections? I think leaving it into e4 tools is the
worst of the options.
We will not remove the support from e4 tools but we could maybe
deprecate it and point to the e(fx)clipse version?
