ecliipse RCP在产品化时用了plugin.properties的%keyName无效的解决方案

Localization in RCP plugins is usually done by including translations

in a property file and using their id in plugin.xml.

I spend some time lately trying to understand why some translations

were not used in my application although they were correctly displayed

in PDE.

Answer : when using plugin.properties, you MUST include the following

line in the plugin manifest :

Bundle-Localization: plugin

Otherwise, PDE will show the translated text, but your app won’t.

Strangely, I had to edit the manifest manually because I couldn’t

find a way to enable plugin localization in PDE. Some other plugins of

my application already had this line, but I don’t remember adding it.

Maybe Eclipse templates have changed since I created my first plugins

(using Eclipse 3.1).

主要是这句：when using plugin.properties, you MUST include the

following line in the plugin manifest :

Bundle-Localization: plugin

意思大致是：当你使用plugin.properies, 你必须在manifest.mf文件中包含下

面这句Bundle-Localization: plugin

 

还有，如果plugin.properties内容有改动(手动修改或者exteneralize string)之后，得重新打开 MANIFEST.MF文件，让PDE重新加载，因为PDE能够把%key的对应字串显示出来，那样很容易就知道某个%key在plugin.properties中没有定义。
