Hello,
I have a program which is used by two different departments. They want to
label the fields in the application differently.
This this I have created different message.properties files, e.g.
message.properties
message_app1.properties
message_app2.properties
I would like to select the correct property files via a startup parameter.
Is this possible and if how?
Best regards, Lars

Is this a question about developing Eclipse plugins, or is this a

The question is related to eclipse plug-ins and the mechnismus to select
message.properties files in Eclipse plug-in development.

Hi Tom,
cool, I didn't know about the -nl option. This should solve my problem.
Hm... any idea what to use to get this parameter? The documentation tells me
to use
BootLoader.getNL();
but this class is @deprecated and no longer relevant according to the source
code.
Best regards, Lars

Hi Tom,
I found it: Locale.getDefault().toString(); returns the passed parameter.
I can now read the correct properties via the following:
private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "messages.messages_";
String nl = Locale.getDefault().toString();
NLS.initializeMessages(BUNDLE_NAME + nl, MessagesEclipse.class);
Thank you again, the -nl was extremely helpful. For the incorrect
documentation I opened a bug report.
Best regards, Lars

Hi,
In case someone else is interested in the approach, I documented it here:
