| |
| <p>Finding unused and incorrectly used keys in a property file:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Open the Search dialog by: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>H</kbd> or</li> |
| |
| <li>selecting <span class="control">Search > Search</span> from the menu bar</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>See if a tab called <span class="control">NLS Keys</span> is visible. If it is, then select it.</li> |
| |
| <li>If it is not visible, press the <span class="control">Customize</span> button and select the <span class="control">NLS Keys</span> checkbox, press <span class= |
| "control">OK</span> to close the dialog and switch to the <span class="control">NLS Key</span> tab.</li> |
| |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Resource bundle accessor class</span> field, enter the name of the class that you use to retrieve strings from the property file. You can |
| use the <span class="control">Browse</span> button to select the class from a list.</li> |
| |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Property file name</span> field, enter the name of the property file. You can use the <span class="control">Browse</span> button to select |
| the file.</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the scope of the search by using the controls in the <span class="control">Scope</span> group.</li> |
| |
| <li>Press <span class="control">Search</span></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>After the search is finished, the Search Result view displays a list of unused keys in the property file and all incorrect references to non-existing keys.</p> |
| |
| <p class="Note">Note: This feature assumes that the resource bundle accessor class used a method called <em>getString</em> with a single <em>String</em> parameter to retrieve |
| strings from the property file.</p> |
