3. Re: jboss tools property editor enhancements
Under what license provided eclipse-rbe?
May be this editor can be included into JBoss Tools without reimplementing this functionality?

4. Re: jboss tools property editor enhancements
License is GNU Library or LGPL.
look at look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/ (there is a link called "Show project details")

{quote}...is it still alive?{quote}.I dont know !
Though, the functionalities of rbe are good, it could get better and therefore
I recommend to see this editor as an inspiration and base point for own I18N-PropertyEditor-implementation within rf-tools.
Also, I cannot guarantee that this editor is bug-free.
For example:
The rbe can generate the appropriate property-files by selecting languages via a nice wizard when going under File->New->ResourceBundle.
It generates property-files with the names for example: ApplicationResources_en_AT.properties or ApplicationResources_fr_FR.properties.
Now, I can open this by right-clicking the file and selecting the "open with ResourceBundle Editor". Then rbe-gui is shown. However, if you delete the substring "ApplicationResources_", then the nice features of rbe-gui will no more be available.
So you see, as it is, it is not perfect for a tighter integration in rf-tools. Besides, I guess, the convention says, that property-files should be called "fr_FR.properties" instead of "ResourceBundle_fr_FR.properties". So you have to rename it in production-mode.
I guess, it is better to see rbe as a base point for own I18N-PropertyEditor-implementation within rf-tools.

Just added rbe sources into eclipse. Its compiles without error and this plugin still works.
Also the plugin functionality caver creating i18n files and editing them, but not caver that we have today, externalization an string from page. So we can mix it.

Fine! Yes, it would be good to adapt or fork the sources to secure a seamlessly integration with Jboss Tools - this (forked) project should be awaken within Jboss Tools.

There was (is?) an effort inside Eclipse to rewrite RBE as "Message Editor". So far I compiled this plugin myself:
- CVS-Repository:
- Host: dev.eclipse.org
- Repository path: /cvsroot/technology
- User: anonymous
- Password:
- Connection type: pserver
- Host: dev.eclipse.org
- Subdirectory HEAD/org.eclipse.babel/plugins: select the following plugins
- org.eclipse.babel.core
- org.eclipse.babel.editor
- org.eclipse.babel.editor.nls
--> Checkout
- org.eclipse.babel.core
- CVS-Repository:

We used this plug-in for a couple of years before it was abandoned in 2007. Initially it was a very nice editor, but eventually we had to abandon using it because of several show-stopping bugs.
A particularly nasty one was the one where the editor didn't get to see any changes when you updated your workspace from SVN while some properties file was open. If you then later on checked in your version of the file, it looked like if you just deleted the new stuff that came in with the last update.
When you finally detected that some keys were missing, it was quite a lot of trouble to retrieve them from the history and add them again.
