[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: RCP Simple Questions

[jose <nospa@xxxxxxxx>]

The %categoryName will look for a value in a .properties file e.g.

categoryName=Some value.

The properties files can be internationalized by the standard nameing 
convention.  If you have a file name myPrps.properties it will be the 
default file used.  Then you can add languages as follows:

myProps_EN.properties
myProps_FR.properties
myProps_ES.properties

You need to give a command line argument to startup your app to use the 
appropriate file.  I don't recall the format offhand.  I'm sure you can 
change this at runtime as well.

I don't know which extension point should I use. Currently I'm using point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards", and the wizard becomes available at File->Others instead of File->New.
