Hi All,

  I am facing some issues with the string externalization wizard. I am
working on a product based on Eclipse and we are trying to make all the
error messages used by the product to one property file
(ErrorMessages.properties)  and all UI strings to another property file
(UIStrings.properties)  for ease of conversion. Both of these have separate
accessor classes also. All these are bundled in a common plugin.

 When I am trying to use the string externalization wizard for a file
having both error messages and UI strings I am facing issues. I am trying
to do it in two passes. In the first pass, I select all error messages, put
all other strings in “Internalize” mode and select the
ErrorMessages.properties configuration. This step successfully moves all
error messages to the selected property file and corresponding accessor
class. Now I started second pass on the same file. This time I need to
select only my UI strings in the class, ignore the already externalized
error message strings and select UIStrings.properties configuration. For
this I checked “Filter all existing ignored and externalized entries”
checkbox in the wizard. But this option will filter the already
externalized strings in the class only if I select the same
ErrorMessages.properties configuration. So I ended up with no option to
skip the already externalized strings. I tried to put all the already
externalized strings in “Internalize” mode” in second pass. But that
reverted what I did in first pass and replaced them with what I had
initially.

Why is this behavior? I searched in bugzilla and couldn't find anything
matching this problem. Is it a bug or something not yet implemented? Or am
I doing something totally wrong?

I am using Eclipse 3.4 M6 version.

Thanks,
Jiju George.
