I sent mail to team since really needed to find out more info on localization issues, but realize it might be better to put here in IZ so here are the potential issues/questions from that mail about blueprints: I was looking at the window that appears when choosing help->blueprints and the various files that appear in it when choosing the design and solution tabs. I do see those files in the blueprints jar file, for example for tabbed view under org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/blueprints/catalog/resources/web/webtier/tabbed-view 1. From looking at l10n.list, it doesnt seem these paths are matched by a wildcarded path. Can all needed files be added, hopefully using ** wildcarded path as far up to top of cvs tree path as possible, to be able to cover more files with one wildcarded statement ? (assuming that, as normal, the localized html file would be in localized jar at same location as in en file, with name <file>_<locale>.html) 2. Also, l10n.list mentions j2ee/external/blueprints-solutions-catalog.zip but it will help to know what in it needs to be localized - so I can both test this and pass on info to l10n team. (since in cvs its in some scrambled form, I can't get to it) or are the files in it already part of or will be part of the blueprints jar itself ? or should they be vs l10n getting a whole zip, esp if its scrambled. In fact, not sure if having this in l10n.list as is is clear enough unless its that everything in it is translated ? and also, would need to know how the localized version would be named, where to be placed in localized jar and will code find localized parts ? 3. any other blueprints related localizable parts besides above and besides already existing bundle and separate html files in the blueprints jar, which I think are covered by existing l10n.list patterns and mostly seem to work as coming from bundle file (some bug filed on items in project panel yesterday 54514 and I think same issue applies to those names of samples in the blueprints window invoked from help in the drop down pane - they also dont come from bundle - if a different situation,please let me know and I'll file separate. For more info on optimizing wildcarding in l10n.list, see recent doc I wrote with recommendations Recomendations for optimizing and improving accuracy of l10n.list http://devtools.sfbay/teams/DeveloperTools_I18N/l10n.list.improvements.html
Each zip file in blueprints jar is a project, which is an example demo for the corresponding solution catalog entry. We don't believe we need to localize those "demo"s. However, we need to update l10n.list as we have to localize html files(solution catalog articles) in the jar file.
l10n.list updated. still need a logic in the java code to switch html files.
pretty sure there is nb api to use so that localized html files are found -- at least this is case for template descriptor ones -- it might be that some other way is needed for non template descriptor html files, if any of these in blueprints are html that shows other places. ken.frank@sun.com
Logics added in checked-in files on 2/28 under j2ee\blueprints\src\org\netbeans\modules\j2ee\blueprints\ui/*.java
