[jbosstools-dev] [i18n] NON-NLS warnings by module

[Sean Flanigan]

G'day

To help me gauge how much work is left in 
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3557, I have modified all the 
projects' .settings (in my local workspace) to enable NON-NLS 
(unexternalized string) warnings, and counted the number of warnings for 
each module.

Here's a spreadsheet if anyone's interested:
   http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=r8p7PNL8gpWp61vrYehBjVw

I would ask for help to count these warnings automatically as part of 
the Hudson build, but it's probably not worth the effort for a temporary 
issue.  (Tracking for all sorts of warnings might be though...)

However, I do think it would be worthwhile to enable NON-NLS *errors* in 
the Hudson build, progressively, as each module is cleaned up.  This 
would help to ensure the module stays clean[1].  Does this sound 
possible/practical?

Also, it would be a big help if everyone can keep an eye out for NON-NLS 
warnings when changing code (or writing new code).  This will save me 
having to go back to modules I've already finished, because 
unexternalized strings have crept in.  Thanks!

Regards

Sean

[1] It would be easy to enable NON-NLS errors in the projects' .settings 
for everyone, but we probably don't want to force everyone to 
internationalise their code before running a local unit test.
