[news.eclipse.birt] Re: Report internationalization in RCP application

Jason,

Thanks again for trying to help me !
It works if the resources are in a RCP plug-in folder. But in my case, my 
properties are in the plug-in classpath.

The best way I found is to implement my own IResourceLocator this way :

public class MyResourceLocator implements IResourceLocator
{

   private DefaultResourceLocator defaultResourceLocator = new 
DefaultResourceLocator();

   @Override
   public URL findResource(ModuleHandle moduleHandle, String filename, 
int type)
   {
       URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(filename);

       if (url == null) {
           url = defaultResourceLocator.findResource(moduleHandle, 
filename,
                   type);
       }

       return url;
   }

}


And set it to my DesignConfig :

DesignConfig designConfig = new DesignConfig();
designConfig.setResourceLocator(new MyResourceLocator());
