Hi Matthias,
Having the RCP(!) language pack in extras.zip means that people using
the
concerned "western" locales will get the RPC language pack installed
into their
Eclipse IDE. If I'm not mistaken, this will mean that they end up
with a partly
localized IDE: The RCP parts are localized, the IDE-specific parts
not. (Correct
me if you think I misunderstand his.)
I'm still playing with my locale settings, but will investigate (user
experience would be useful, as i'm not a native "western" locale
user... we should however, be able to override the locale settings to
load eclipse in your language in choice, just like we do in uDig by
changing the shortcut from:
C:\java\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx512m
to
C:\java\eclipse\eclipse.exe -nl en -vmargs -Xmx512m
a) Install the extras.zip, but later disable the language pack in
"Manage
configuration". This gives you an English Eclipse IDE, but retains the
possibility to use the RCP language pack plugins for building and
testing the
localized uDig (which was intended).
That's more or less what I prefer.
Where is "manage configuration"?
b) Install the extras.zip, but then install the complete IDE(!)
language pack
over it. This way you get a COMPLETELY localized IDE environment. I
don't think
the additional language pack files will affect running and testing
uDig (as long
as uDig does not depend on any IDE-specific packages).
I've added links to the Eclipse 3.1.1 SDK Language packs in the uDig

Thoughts?
Cheers,
Cory.
