Need to translate Help/About text including copyright statement
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBDS-587
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-587
             Project: Developer Studio
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.cr1
            Reporter: Sean Flanigan


Help/About JBoss Developer Studio shows the version/copyright information for JBDS.
This text looks similar to /com.jboss.jbds.product/plugin.properties but is actually overwritten/expanded from 
releng/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.releng/builders/product/product.properties during the build.

The problem is, if we create a translation fragment plugin for com.jboss.jbds.product, the translators will translate the obsolete information in /com.jboss.jbds.product/plugin.properties, and when a langpack is installed, the up-to-date information will be replaced by obsolete information.

We need to work out how to handle this better, preferably keeping the translatable text somewhere in com.jboss.jbds.product, not in releng.  

Perhaps we could do something with /com.jboss.jbds.product/about.mappings / about.ini?  Ref: http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/product_configfeature.htm
