Move translatable .properties files from src/ into resources/text/
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-2972
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2972
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Cleanup
            Reporter: Sean Flanigan


See http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jbosstools-dev/2008-October/002268.html for background, particularly item number 4.  If all translatable resources are kept in standard locations, the localization build can be simplified and more reliable.

 In JBoss Tools, I have identified translatable .properties in the
following directories under various ${plugin} dirs:
	src/main
	src
	jbosscore
	jbossui
	templates
	template-src


One example is the file /org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.core/src/main/org/jboss/ide/eclipse/archives/core/ArchivesCoreMessages.properties
but there are similar files in every project.

Rather than create a similar jira for each and every project, I'd be happy to do the work myself, with a little help (I haven't done much work with Eclipse plugins):

Could someone please confirm what needs be changed to move this file into
  /org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.core/resources/text/org/jboss/ide/eclipse/archives/core/ArchivesCoreMessages.properties
and still be available on the classpath for Eclipse and PDE Build and anywhere else important.

At the moment, I can think of these changes:
1. add another classpathentry in Eclipse's .classpath (through Eclipse's Java Build Path screen)
2. edit sources.archivescore.jar in build.properties (through Eclipse's Build Configuration editor)

Is that all that is needed?
