10 :     <p>We have generated fragments for the Hebrew locale for testing purposes based
11 :     on the icons flagged as requiring inversion by Emad El-Agouz at IBM Egypt. You
12 :     can find them in <a href="iw_fragments.zip">iw_fragments.zip</a>. This zip file
13 :     also includes a class called the ImageFlipper which is an SWT snippet to flip
14 :     all of the icons in our directory and write them out to another.</p>
15 :     <p><strong>To run Eclipse with these fragments:</strong><br>
16 :     Import them as existing projects into your workspace and then run an Eclipse
17 :     application with the command line arguments -dir rtl -nl iw_IR. This zip only
18 :     includes the plug-ins in the SDK although Emad has produced icons for more strings.
19 :     Note that these are test fragments for the Hebrew locale - we do not expect
20 :     them to ship this way.</p>
21 :     <p><strong>To regenerate the icons:</strong><br>
22 :     Should you wish to regenerate these icons run the ImageFlipper with two arguments
23 :     to main - the path of the source and the path of the destination.</p>
24 :     <p><strong>Status:</strong><br>
25 :     The workbench, views and ide have all been updated to handle nl awareness as
26 :     of build I20050315. It is likely that most other plug-ins will not invert correctly
27 :     with thier fragments as they are most likely not looking up thier paths with
28 :     the $nl$ prefix when they call (this was an issue for us).</p>
29 :     <p>As we am not sure where these icons are in the UI will ask the nl teams to
30 :     log problem reports to the teams in question when they come across an con that
31 :     has not been restored (flipped back correctly).</p>
