1. Is this tool compliant with Eclipse 3.1?

This package includes two versions: one for Eclipse 3.0 and one for Eclipse 3.1.

2. How do I customize the Accessor class name and property file name?

The suffix of the Accessor class name "Resources" cannot be changed now. It is used to locate itself when modification occurs.

3. How do I start this plug-in?

There are three ways to start the plug-in:

  • Open a Java source code file and click on the righthand button. Then click on the Globalization Tool label. The globalization tool dialog box will appear.
  • Click on the IGT icon in the toolbar.
  • Click on the IGT menu in the menu bar.

4. Why can the generated accesssor class not be compiled successfully?

It is possible that you did not import the sample ResourceEntry into your project when the wizard first prompted you. Please follow these instructions to correct the problem:

  1. Start the Globalization Tool again and check the box labeled "Whether or not to import the sample ResourceEntry."
  2. Select the expected package or use the default value; then click on the Finish button.
  3. Enhance the ResourceEntry class. This action will enable you to match your globalization design and add the necessary exception-handling and logging methods. In order to generate a sample ResourceEntry class, please check the box "Whether or not to import the sample ResourceEntry" on the first wizard page.
