Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 & WB 1.8.0 not finding i18n strings in design view [message #1763489]

Doing some enhancements to a 5 year old Java/Swing project at the moment using the above versions. I believe it was originally developed with an older version of Eclipse and WB.

The project is i18ned with a messages.properties file and a Messages class that uses a ResourceBundle.

An example label is constructed as follows:

new JLabel(Messages.getString(ThisClass.class.getName() + ".Label1")); //$NON-NLS-1$

When the application is run the strings display correctly, but when displayed in WB design view it can't find the string.

I tried creating a new NLS strings source and pointing it at the Messages class but no joy.

Any ideas?! TIA for any assistance.

What happens if you replace:

ThisClass.class.getName() + ".Label1"

with the actual key name as a single string?

Ah-ha, that is working!

Do you know if there's a way to get it to work using the "ThisClass.class.getName()" method? Would save me refactoring to modify it and then again to commit.
