| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Package</span> field, enter the name for the package in which you want the wizard to locate the property file (you can use the <span class= |
| "control">Browse</span> button to display the list of all packages)</li> |
| |
| <li>In the Property file name field, enter the name of the property file (new or existing) in which the externalized strings will be put (you can use the <span class= |
| "control">Browse</span> button to display the list of all .properties files located in the package selected in the Package field.)</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Create resource bundle accessor class</span> checkbox if you want to create a class that will be used to access the externalized strings |
| (Note: the class will be reused if it exists already).</li> |
| |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Class name</span> field, if you have the above-mentioned checkbox selected, you can specify the name of the accessor class</li> |
| |
| <li>Press <span class="control">Next</span> to see a preview of the modifications or press <span class="control">Finish</span> to externalize strings without previewing |
| changes.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p class="Note">Note: The default behavior of the wizard (i.e. creating a class with a name specified in the <span class="control">Class name field</span> and using <span |
| class="control">getString</span> as the name of the method used to retrieve strings from the property file) can be overridden. You may want to do so if you already have an |
| accessor class in another package or your accessor class uses another method with another name to get strings from the property file.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Clear the <span class="control">Use default substitution pattern</span> checkbox</li> |
| |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Substitution pattern</span> field enter the new pattern that will be used to retrieve strings from the property file. For each externalized |
| string, the first occurrence of <span class="control">${key}</span> will be substituted with the key.</li> |
| |
| <li>Use the <span class="control">Add import declaration</span> field if you want the wizard to add an additional import to the compilation unit (you can use the <span |
| class="control">Browse</span> button to help you find a class that you want to import.)</li> |
| </ol> |
