Hi,

Are there tools/editors out there that can help me edit the .properties
files needed to localize a plugin? Is there some tool that lets me edit
a central file and then generates all the *_xy.properties files?

Another question. Suppose I use Eclipse's string externalization
mechanism: then I have to keep in sync the public static String field
names with the names of the keys in the properties file. I was
pleasantly surprised to find out that renaming the field name with a
refactoring will also change it in the properties file. But only in the
main properties file: not in the various *_xy.properties files sitting
next to the main one. Is this normal behavior, or am I doing anything
wrong? Any other tool support I should be aware of?

Thanks,
J.-P.
