[news.eclipse.tools] nls externalize strings more efficient

[uwe_ewald@xxxxxxxxx (Uwe Voigt)]

I wonder what the status of the "Externalize Strings" functionality is.
A few weeks ago I have read that it is planned to work on the mechanism to
make it more efficient and comfortable to use.
Wish we would have a feature that automatically adds int key constants to
a chosen class or interface which correspond to property file entries.
The initial text value could optional be added as comment to make it
readable when using code cmpletion.
Of course this approach would hardly be compatible with
java.util.ResourceBundle...
