What, if any, mechanism is provided by eclipse for changing locales?

If there is a way to change locales might there be a way to do it
dynamically while eclipse is running?

Any help with eclipse locale changing would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Greg

You can startup eclipse using -nl <Locale>

Currently there's no UI that would allow the user to do this and
existing views/dialogs don't change dynamically.

Thank you very much. I have one other question you may also know the
answer to:
Do you know if there is a place I could find a list of all the locales
that eclipse supports? I want to create a UI button that would allow a
user to change locales (even if it has to restart eclipse when one is
selected) I need to test some stuff out though and I can't seem to get any
of, what I thought where, standard locales to work.

That's not so easy since it depends on each plug-in how many languages
it supports i.e. for which languages it delivers the *.properties files.
I don't know of any API that would help you here.

You can scan the file system, look for properties files and come up with a
rough guess?
Some plugins may support German, some French, some both, but no
garantuees anywhere....
