Re: [udig-devel] manipulating the "Custom Application Tutorial" source code
Thank you for the bundle. I got a few suggestions about it, so I commented on the issue. Please check and let me know what you think.

Thanks a lot buddy. This is what I was looking for, I think. I checked out the source code but I think working onhttp://udig.refractions.net/files/downloads/translate/translationfiles.zip is simpler as it contains all of the necessary files in one bundle. So, how can I obtain the most recent bundle as you have mentioned that we may ask for it?

I am not sure how to make it ...

"You may wish to send an email asking that this file be refreshed to match the latest udig prior to starting" 

Well let me try something ... I bet if I was command line zip I could ask it to collect all the properties files. The previous developer did not leave instructions for me.

I think this will do the trick?

 zip -r translation.zip . -i \*.properties

I have reported the issue here:

You will find the archive attached:

I am really not sure if it is anygood; please download and let me know :-)

When you are done bundle up the result and attach it to the bug report I guess; I should be able to unzip it on my end and commit the changes into the application.

Let me know if you need a wiki space created? I usually ask that people make a single page covering the contents of the "Quickstart"; that way online help is not empty - and there are some friendly instructions on how to get going.

There is a page on translation here:

Personally I would recommend:
1. check out the source code;
2. Use the ResourceBundleEditor to edit each of the messages.properties files
3. Commit the results back.
4. For bonus points we can add a new section to the online help

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:
