Eclipse NL Tools

org.eclipse.ui.tools 1.0.0

org.eclipse.ui.tools is a tool that takes existing nl catalogs and generates translations for the current version of Eclipse. Existing translations are kept and any properties without a translation are given a string appended with characters appropriate to that locale.

Translations are generated using an export wizard (Translation Wizard). This wizard requests a source and destination for translations files and provides a list of source projects in the workbench for the user to select. Jars and zip files are not currently searched for properties files and will be ignored.

As not all properties files are message catalogs a filter mechanism has also been added (see Preferences->Translation Generation) that by default filters the jfacefonts files and the build properties files. The user may add and remove filters using this mechanism.
