0.8 M2 RUI Properties Library generated code error [message #814828]

0.8 M2 release...

With the following:

library Properties type RUIPropertiesLibrary {}
	upsAccessKey string;
	upsUserID string;
	upsPassword string;
end

The generated Java code has an error on the import:

import eglx.ui.rui.NLSLibrary;

The error is "The import eglx.ui.rui cannot be resolved".

Need a bug submission on this or did I screw something up?

p.s. Do you want to know about things like this on milestone releases?

My understanding is that the RUIPropertiesLibrary is only supported in JS generation, so it reports the error.

Yes, RUIPropertiesLibrary can only be generated to JavaScript. There isn't yet "generator-level validation" to handle when trying to generate a part to an invalid target language, so for now you have to be careful which generators are enabled for which parts otherwise generation could throw an error and/or produce code that won't compile/run.

Oh, right. Duh. I put the RUI properties library into the "common" package. I should have put it in the "client".

You know though, while we are on the topic, I recall that even in RBD I've been jumping through hoops to be able to have the same properties available in Java that I have in JavaScript via the RUIPropertiesLibrary. In the JSF world I used getMessage() to access externalized properties and while this is still available on the Java side of a RUI app it takes extra configuration (and a copy of the properties file in a different location) to make it work.

I am wondering if anyone else thinks it would be helpful to rethink properties in terms of a "PropertiesLibrary" type that can be generated to both JS and Java?
