[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (JBIDE-3581) Externalise English tab names in Preferences pages

Externalise English tab names in Preferences pages -------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-3581 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3581 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: common Reporter: Sean Flanigan Assignee: Viacheslav Kabanovich Fix For: 3.1.0 The Preferences pages "JBoss Tools/Web/Editors/JSF Flow Diagram" and "JBoss Tools/Web/JSF/Project" both use tabs to divide the configuration. The tab names appear to be hard-coded English, based on testing with the pseudo langpacks - http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13256 . The tab names are "JSF Flow Diagram", "Add View", "New Project" and "Import Project". I haven't checked all of them, but the first two tab names are found in a small number of .java and .meta files: /org.jboss.tools.common.model/resources/meta/studio_eclipse_option.meta /org.jboss.tools.jsf/src/org/jboss/tools/jsf/JSFPreference.java /org.jboss.tools.jsf.ui/src/org/jboss/tools/jsf/ui/preferences/JSFFlowTabbedPreferencesPage.java I would have externalised the English text myself (in .java, not .meta files) but it looks as if JSF_EDITOR_PATH and JSF_ADD_VIEW_PATH are used as paths within the data model, so replacing them with localised text would probably break something. Note: if the meta files turn out to be part of the problem, JBIDE-2969 might be relevant. EDIT: I have found a number of similar cases from outside JSF: The Struts Flow Diagram prefs page is similar, but the tab "Struts Flow Diagram" is being localised where "JSF Flow Diagram" is not. I think that's down to the getTitle() override in org.jboss.tools.struts.ui.preferences.WebFlowTabbedPreferencesPage.Tab. Might help with JSFFlowTabbedPreferencesPage ? (NB: the other tab "Add Page" is hard-coded, just like JSF Flow Diagram.) Then there is "JBoss Tools/Web/Struts/Automation/Resource Insets" with the hard-coded "Default Error Messages" tab. And the "JBoss Tools/Web/Struts/Project" page has a suspiciously similar problem to "JBoss Tools/Web/JSF/Project" with the tab names "New Project" and "Import Project". Both cases probably need the same fix. In fact, it looks like all the above cases involve descendants of /org.jboss.tools.common.model.ui/src/org/jboss/tools/common/model/ui/preferences/TabbedPreferencesPage, so I'm moving this jira out of the JSF component into common. If I am understanding the situation correctly, TabbedPreferencesPage needs to distinguish between model paths (to be kept as they are) and tab names (to be translated from English to other languages, ie externalised).
