Re: [udig-devel] manipulating the "Custom Application Tutorial" source c

[Farzad Mahdikhani <farzad_itm@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks a lot Jody, it was a lot of help and I studied the documentation about eclipse RCP and uDig which you recommended but as my question is not resolved, I reformulate my question:
I actually want to internationalize the uDig for my own language, you say Turkish, and package it. As a result I will have menu items, tooltips, dialogs, etc. in Turkish language. I don't know how to start, maybe it is something like this:

-download the source code of uDig (from svn?)
-do some sort of externalizing strings and provide some for example message_tr.properties files (where are exactly these properties files?)
-build uDig again (how?)

I am stuck and I really appreciate any help.

Almost any book on Eclipse RCP (or website tutorial) can help.

The initial applicaiton; ends up creating a workbench advisor (I think the tutorial covers it when defining the initial perspective?). One of the things you can do is provide an action bar advisor to define your menus.

The best thing to do is read the eclipse help menu on the subject; they have some good (and current) intructions.

You can also choose to add to the existing menus form any plugin; there are some notes in the developers guide here:
