Re: [eclipse-dev] How to make the Mac generated menu entries language specific in RCP?
|
Thanks Lakshmi . I opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=578406
We see the same problem with macOS BigSur as well, assuming that this
is the version which is 2-3 years old. I don't have access to the
client machine so I cannot check at the moment.
