Externalized stings don't work anymore [message #60676]

Hi,

since the release of the final version of VE, externalized strings in a
visual class aren't properly evaluated. Instead, the component gets
marked with an 'i' and the tooltip shows a
java.lang.InstantiationException(... to complicated to be evaluated). In
VE1.0M2 externalized string were ok (except for TitledBorders).
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks for finding this. I've opened a sev 1 bugzilla 74552 for this so
please added yourself to the cc list.

Best regards,

Just so we know, what is the externalized string code in the file look
like? Need to see the format to see if we should be able to evaluate it
correctly. There are some we can't, even though it worked in M2.
Something probably has regressed, but the format you are using will help
us find it out.

The call is LanguageManager.getString("KEY"), where getString() is a
static method and LanguageManager has a static initializer block. But
even if you simplify getString() by returning a constant string, VE
still can't evaluate it.

In M2 it worked for things like

jLabel.setText(LanguageManager.setString("foo"));

but failed for

jPanel.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createTitledBorde r(
null,LanguageManager.getString("Viz2DConfigPanel.31"),...));

In 1.0 final, it fails for both.

Just for now, change LanguageManager.getString("KEY") to be
fully-qualified. It probably can't find LanguageManager because that
section of the parser doesn't know about import stmts. That is something
that we need to address, we have a priority defect open to try find all
of the places that are like this.

Thanks, that seems to work, even for TitledBorders.
