Internationalization of "Core Plugins" [message #119793]

Hi,

I have a question. We are developing a new Product with RAP. Usually when
developing eclipse RCP we split our plugins in "core" and "ui" plugins. The
"core" plugins usually have no references to any "ui" plugins. Now using
this concept for RAP seems to fail with internationalization as the class
"RWT" that is responsible for translation resides in a "ui" plugin.
Does anyone face the same problem and/or has a solution for this?

Regards,
Markus

The problem is that - in RAP - the decision for the user's language can
be made for incoming requests. So I think you have to decide

- system output, e.g. when starting the application (locale is the
JVM's system locale)
- UI output, for that you can use the RWT.NLS class

The result is, that - for system output - you cannot use RWT.NLS if you
want to split in core and ui. Instead, you can use ResourceBundles or
the "good old" org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS class?

Markus,

in my opinion, core code should not deal with locale specific
information regarless of the implications that RAP brings into the
topic. Code that needs access to locale information should stay in
the UI thus the problem wouldn't arise in the first place.

If your code plug-in actually needs locale information, you would
need to pass it there from your UI code.

Cheers,
Rüdiger
