Eclipse Resource Bundles Editor: Great For ColdBox Internationalization.
Ernst Van der Linden pointed me out to a great eclipse plugin to use when using ColdBox's Internationalization features. This plugin is the Eclipse Resource Bundles Plugin
This is an incredible plugin that will help you work with multi-language resource bundles right from within eclipse. I Include the Attessor tool with ColdBox to facilitiate the usage of resource bundles, but this tool takes the cake.
- It shows the property keys as a list or as a tree
- It shows all the available locales at the same time
- You can easily see multi-language translations at one time
- Change languages with ease
- New Language wizard that will blow your mind
- If founds missed keys in any locale and displays a warning icon.
- It saves the keys grouped, in alphabetical order and with the equal signs aligned.
- It escapes Unicode characters that are not inside the ASCII subset. Example: C\u00F3digo postal for Código postal.
- It founds duplicate property values.
- Much More...



- it also trashes every other s/w RB so be very careful if you have to use RB from multiple sources (ask the farcry folks if you don't believe me)
- it can write stuff out as UTF-8 (default behavior?), this can be incredibly BAD except for flex i guess ;-)
btw "escaping" chars & the rest of the stuff you mention is supposed to be standard behavior for RB editors.
Good Notes for the people using it. I found it and played around with it. I still love my Attesoro tool though!!
