I'm working on a large app that needs to be internationalized so I ran the
externalize strings wizard and it worked great, all my strings are now in
a properties file and I can access them through a nicely generated java
class.

Now comes the hard part, how does the app know which locale to use? My
application is a servlet based application (ie it is NOT an eclipse plugin
or something similar). The locale is specified within the request and so
the application can be handling multiple locales at once.

How does the code generated by the externalize strings wizard handle this
scenario? I've tried both the default wizard output and the new eclipse
mechanism but they both use static methods/variables and don't allow
passing locale params.

What's the best way to externalize strings when using Eclipse only as an
editor and NOT a platform?

They don't handle this scenario.
