> Much of the English text in JBoss Tools is already externalised into .properties files, but my pseudolocalisation testing [1] shows that there is still some hard-coded English text, particularly in files like plugin.xml and feature.xml, but also in parts of the Java source.
> Any such English text needs to be moved out of the source code into .properties files, and replaced by ResourceBundle lookups.  
> - In the case of plugin.xml or Java source, Eclipse's "Externalize Strings" wizard can help.  In most cases, if a plugin already has a ResourceBundle, for instance org.jboss.tools.{plugin}.Messages, it is best to reuse this bundle, rather than creating another one for each package in the bundle.  (More bundles create more work for translators.)
> - In the case of feature.xml, there doesn't seem to be an Eclipse wizard, so externalisation has to be done by hand.
> [1] Running JBoss Tools together with Eclipse's Babel langpacks, plus the JBoss Tools langpacks. http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13256
