How to access a plugin.properties string via code [message #308618]

Hi,

I'm displaying translatable error messages to the user. I would like to
format one of my strings to use the name of a preference page which is also
translatable but defined in the plugin.properties file.

Can someone please tell me how to access a string that is defined in the
plug-in.properties file so that I can extract the translated name of the
preference page.

Thanks in advance,

Adam

Usually you would use the interface for that information ... ex, to get
the translated editor name (which comes from the plugin.xml), use
IEditorPart.getTitle() and it will return the translated name.

Thanks Sunil, that's exactly what I was looking for.
