NLS.bind vs MessageFormat.format -------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-9356 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9356 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Task Components: cleanup Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M3 Reporter: Rob Stryker Assignee: Jeff MAURY Fix For: 4.5.0.AM1, 4.0.x A substantial number of classes use NLS.bind(Messages.SomeString, name) to bind message strings. Another subset of the classes use MessageFormat.format(etc). I believe NLS.bind() is the correct solution which works properly with eclipse osgi and all that jazz. Should this be standardized? Is it confusing to be using two interchangable APIs?
