Hi all,

Can anybody tell me how to use Locale object with the Messages.java
generated by ECLIPSE? I read the I18N tut on java.sun.com. But couldn't
figure out how to put them together.... Below is the Messages.java class

package com.example.view;

import org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS;

public class Messages extends NLS
{
private static final String BUNDLE_NAME =
"au.com.pulse.jpilot.view.messages"; //$NON-NLS-1$

public static String FavoritesTab;

public static String MainMenu;

public static String Menu;

public static String PulseScreenTitle;

public static String ToWorkBench;

public static String MainWorkPanel_DoubleClick;

public static String MainWorkPanel_UserMaintTabName;
static
{
// initialize resource bundle
NLS.initializeMessages(BUNDLE_NAME, Messages.class);
}

private Messages()
{
}
}

Cheers
HS

Also, I'd like to provide a login screen. A user can select the language
he/she want to use. I noticed the eclipse way of I18N initialize
everything before show the application GUI... how can I popup the login
screen then init all messages?

Cheers

Now I understand the above code use the user's operating system setting
as default to create correct ResouceBoundle... Is there anyway I can let
a user to select the language he/she want to use?

You can specify which locale to use with the -nl on the command line when starting Eclipse, if you don't want it to be the system default. I don't believe that you'll find it easy to change this with a dialog during startup easily, but if you do, it will be a case of setting the system property "osgi.nl" to the locale value.

Of course, you need to get in early since the messages are resolved when a bundle starts; so anything started before you set this property may have the wrong language. You could, of course, provide your own dialog box started from your own launcher to do the work for you, and then construct the appropriate launch mechanism.

Alex.

One possibility is to update the config.ini with the osgi.nl property.
After you have set the property you can set a persistance flag and
relaunch the workbench. On the restart you ask for the flag and skip the
login-dialog.
