Strange Spaces in UI [message #1690482]

In my EMF model I have defined objects called "BOSDLTs". There is a parent type called "Project" containing a property called "BOSDLTs".

When I use the default editor created by EMF the context menu on "Project" contains an entry "BOSDL Ts" (mind the whitespace!) under "New Child".

Where does the whitespace come from? And more important: how can I get rid of it?

thanks
Christian

You can tweak all display strings in your edit plugin's plugin.properties file.

Thanks, that helped solving the UI problem. Jut to satisfy my curiosity: any idea why these spaces are generated?

Christian,

We try to split camel case into separate words. So AbcDef -> "Abc
Def". It's quite comment that acronym "prefixes" are used in models.
E.g., XSDSchema -> "XSD Schema" , XMLType -> XML Type. But of course
given EJBRDBMap we can't know it should be EJB RDB Map. No algorithm is
perfect... In any case, strings presented to the user are always
represented as properties (so they can be translated) so there's always
an opportunity to make it perfect...
