Hello,

Where can we find general workbench messages for menu texts, like
"File", "Edit", "Help", etc.
I use ActionFactory where possible, but it doesn't contain all actions.

Thank you.

In general there is no something like 'general workbench messages'.

But please look at the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin, at the class
WorkbenchMessages.

Please let me know, if this helped you.

There are however messages for general actions defined in the
ActionFactory class, for example ABOUT, PRINT, SAVE, QUIT, etc.

Not really, because it doesn't contain common action or menu messages
such as File or Help. Also this class has an access restriction
(discouraged access).

Other ideas?

Thanks for your suggestion, Daniel. I had also seen this class, however
it's not in RCP plugins, and I'm reluctant to add the IDE plugin for
only a couple of messages...

I believe that File and Help, for example, are general messages that
should be found in any application, and so belong to RCP plug-in.

Other ideas?

I think you'll find them in the org.eclipse.ui plugin as various command/category names.

Alex.

Thanks Alex, but how do I get the message bundle of org.eclipse.ui
plug-in from my own plug-in?

All messages of the org.eclipse.ui plugin are located in the
plugin.properties file.
If you want to translate the messages to your language, you can download
the Language Pack and use the org.eclipse.ui.nl1 fragment as example.

Hi,

What I'd like is not to use these messages as an example for my plug-in,
but to _reuse_ them directly.

Is there a ResourceBundle class in org.eclipse.ui plug-in to get
directly the localized messages, or else how can I get an instance of
such a ResourceBundle?

Thanks,

There isn't any message bundle in the org.eclipse.ui plugin except the
plugin.properties file.
plugin.properties contains the localized messages from the plugin.xml
file. When you add org.eclipse.ui, you will get its localized messages
directly.

If you want to include IDEWorkbenchMessages, you don't have to include
the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin. You should only copy IDEWorkbenchMessages
to your plugin.

Hi again,

When I try
Platform.getResourceBundle(Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.ui "))
or
Platform.getResourceBundle(Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.ui.nl1 "))
I get an EmptyResouceBundle.

What did I miss, please?
