How to get a localized name of EEnumLiteral [message #1865775]

Hi

Could you please suggest how to get a localized name of an EEnumLiteral from properties file?

If I know an edit-plugin defining the EEnum then I can use the following statement:

XyzEditPlugin.INSTANCE.getString("_UI_EnumName_LITERAL_literal")

But what if I have an EObject and EAttribute (with EEnum type) only. And I don't know which plugin to use to find the string? How to get a localized list of available values for the attribute?

There's nothing stopping you from defining your own properties wherever you like.

You mention "the attribute" which suggests that likely you have an EObject with an EAttribute of type EEnum. So you could do the following rather long convoluted this:

    ComposedAdapterFactory adapterFactory = new ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE);
    TextModifyTask textModifyTask = SetupFactory.eINSTANCE.createTextModifyTask();  // The object with an attribute of type EEnum.
    AdapterFactoryItemDelegator adapterFactoryItemDelegator = new AdapterFactoryItemDelegator(adapterFactory);
    IItemPropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor = adapterFactoryItemDelegator.getPropertyDescriptor(textModifyTask,
        SetupPackage.Literals.SETUP_TASK__SCOPE_TYPE);  // The EAttribute
    String text = propertyDescriptor.getLabelProvider(textModifyTask).getText(ScopeType.INSTALLATION); // The enum literal value
