[eclipse-dev] Detection of unnecessary nls tags

[Olivier Thomann <Olivier_Thomann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In today's build, the compiler could report unnecessary nls tags. To do 
that it used the preference for externalized string literals. The reason 
for that is to get an accurate tagging of externalized string literals.

Doing this, we ended up with thousands of errors for some teams that set 
this preference to error (by default this is ignored). So in order to 
prevent from slowing people down, we won't report these unnecessary nls 
tags till after M1. This gives time to the teams to be ready for the 
switch. We believe that a new option to report these tags is not necessary 
as it is related to the existing externalized string literals preference.

So JDT/Core asks for a rebuild in order to ignore again the reporting of 
these unnecessary nls tags.

Please speak up if you have anything to say about this.

Thanks,

Olivier
