I found that in four modules manifests, this attribute for some reason was not included in the localizing bundle, even though other localized attributes were. Perhaps people did not realize that this is an I18N string. Anyway, attaching patch for four modules. Also corrects a couple of typos in long descriptions. I think this should go in for 3.3.1 (at least for modules that are standard for 3.3.1; not sure about status of db & webadvanced) if we expect it to be 100% localizable. Otherwise English category names will appear in the Modules node even in other locales such as Japanese.
Created attachment 4368 [details] Suggested patch
OpenIDE-Module-Display-Category attribute is included in the localizing bundle (db/src/org/netbeans/modules/db/resources/Bundle.properties, line 930) for Database Explorer module. The reason why this attribure is in the manifest file also is to be able to use this module with OpenIDE-Module-IDE-Dependencies: IDE/1 < 1.24 too. For < 1.24 the strings are taken from manifest file, for > 1.24 they are taken from localizing bundle file. BTW db module is available via autoupdate center only.
Done in trunk for clazz module.
fixed for webadvanced in orion_ea and will be merged to trunk soon. Note that this modules is not part of standard NetBeans distro. The reason is that first announcement didn't mention that the category should be localizable too.
OK, so ignore the part of the patch against db/manifest.mf. If anything should be in 3.3.1, then, I guess it would be clazz + jarpackager portions of the patch.
See issue 20859 (clazz) and issue 20858 (jarpackager). Both have been fixed in orion_fcs. I believe there are no more open issues described in this umbrella report. Closing as resolved.
