In new nb welcome screen, using 0420 build, under Getting Started section, the web pages do not show the files from the locale specfic data that has been done by customizing the various .url files and the welcome jar .../resources/Bundle.properties file. Also, in nb5.5/docs are pseudo localized versions of the html docs; this setup is same as was for 5.0 with localized docs in same dir as en ones. for example, click on whats new and get the nb5.5/docs/whatsnew.html, not the whatsnew_ja.html
It seems that layer.xml needs to use "nbresloc:" protocol to pick up localized .url file (if exists) instead of English file. ./welcome/src/org/netbeans/modules/welcome/resources/layer.xml - <file name="quickstart.url" url="quickstart.url"> + <file name="quickstart.url" url="nbresloc:/org/netbeans/modules/welcome/resources/quickstart.url"> This is one example, I'll attach patch file.
moved to ui/welcome.
Created attachment 32681 [details] patch for ide/welcome/src/org/netbeans/modules/welcome/resources/layer.xml, please evaluate
To dev team, since there is the upcoming ml beta, and since this is so visible, can this be fixed now ? Also, its late enough in the cycle that this needs to be fixed anyway to get a good baseline to make sure there are not other problems. ken.frank@sun.com
fixed in trunk (thanks for the patch) Checking in layer.xml; /cvs/ide/welcome/src/org/netbeans/modules/welcome/resources/layer.xml,v <-- layer.xml new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4 done
fixed in release55 branch Checking in layer.xml; /cvs/ide/welcome/src/org/netbeans/modules/welcome/resources/layer.xml,v <-- layer.xml new revision: 1.1.2.7; previous revision: 1.1.2.6
verified in 0819 daily build I don't see the names of sample projects on welcome as from the locale now, but need to check more and that would be a separate issue anyway. ken.frank@sun.com
