[egit-dev] NLS and JGit

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris (et al),

One of the issues is internationalisation, for which Eclipse uses the  
NLS class in org.eclipse.osgi. However, JGit can't depend on that  
(because it's EPL) so we can't switch languages in the same way. For  
the core, we can possibly avoid messages and represent e.g. error  
conditions as exceptions with parameters, but there might be a  
difference for the JGit AWT UI component.

What can we do in this case? Do we need to translate those as well, or  
just those in the EGit components? How do other standalone products  
(like ECF) handle this optional dependency on the NLS classes?
