Hi,
I'm trying to externalize my Strings from my feature.xml to
feature.properties and from my plugin.xml to plugin.properties. I followed
numerous examples, but it just fails. I'm using the correct notations, I'm
including the feature.properties in my binary build, the feature is
packaged correctly in the JAR. However, when I install it, I still get the
featureName constant instead of the actual name.
BTW, should the substitution work when launching and debugging through
PDE, too?
Thanks,
Zviki

The manifest file must include a line like this:
Bundle-Localization: plugin
(where "plugin" is the name of the file that contains the externalized
strings, eg "plugin.properties").
For a feature, it is usually
Bundle-Localization: feature
(with a corresponding "feature.properties" file).
Hope this helps,
Eric
