Description Masaki Katakai 2006-08-01 05:57:04 UTC 
It is OK to enable localized strings in these status text.
Module developers also want to see such status text in their languages.

./core/startup/src/org/netbeans/core/startup/NbEvents.java

            // Again no need for I18N as this is only for module developers.

            setStatusText(
                "Deploying test module in " + (File)args[0] + "..."); // NOI18N

            setStatusText(
                "Finished deploying test module."); // NOI18N

Please extract these messages to resource bundle file.

I guess this is your code, Jesse.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2006-08-07 21:42:56 UTC 
Generally these messages will be visible only from the Ant process output window
when reinstalling a module. As a rule, Ant log messages are not localized, so it
would be inconsistent for these to be.
Comment 3 Masaki Katakai 2006-08-08 07:28:05 UTC 
Thank you very much for evaluation.

The messages will be displayed on "status" area in another IDE,
not on "Output" window of current IDE. It's not easy for module
developers to understand these messages are English because 
these are kind of ant/build messages. I think such important
messages are worth to be localized, even for module developers.

Could you think again?
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2006-08-08 23:07:03 UTC 
If it appears in the status line it should be localized. I was under the
impression that the message in question was printed to console only (i.e. Ant
output of development IDE).
