We want to change the default internationnalization mechanism used by eclipse, is it possible to do that?

The reason because we want to do this is that all our externalized messages, labels, ... are stored in a database and we want keep this mechanism for plugin.xml strings that need to be translated in different languages.

Thank you in advance for your help.

The extension registry makes use of the OSGi Manifest localization built into the framework. The Equinox framework publishes a org.eclipse.osgi.service.localization.BundleLocalization service so the eclipse extension registry can obtain ResourceBundle objects for a bundle to get translated strings for plugin.xml files.

You could try registering your own org.eclipse.osgi.service.localization.BundleLocalization OSGi service object at a high service ranking so that the extension registry used your version over the one provided by the framework. This may allow you to replace the mechanism used by the Extension registry (for plugin.xml files) but it will not replace the mechanism used by the Equinox OSGi framework for translating entries in /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF files.

Any word on this?

I have tried to override the default BundleLocalization service, but it didn't work due to the default BundleLocalization service is being registered with the Constants.SERVICE_RANKING property of value Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,

You are correct. I did not realize the service ranking was set to max by the framework for the BundleLocalization service registration. My previous comment will not work. Currently there is no way to override this behavior.

Tom.
