Mark Chambers created PIVOT-940:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Localisation Using a Non Class Related File
Key: PIVOT-940
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-940
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core-json, core-serialization, wtk
Affects Versions: 2.0.3
Environment: ALL
Reporter: Mark Chambers
Priority: Minor
Currently it seems that the resources in Pivot are done that same way as the
JDK, so .json files are associated with the classes.
Since anybody working in an International software industries has to deal with
the problem of continualy having to translate applications languages, it seems
strange to have to wrap up the languages with the Class Files.
Ideally an external file, should be able to be specified, like the bxml file...
That is sitting somewhere with the other resource files, configuration files
etc...
No reason to link it too the class, since 95% of class are not even GUI
components, and the way Apache Pivot does it is has a single GUI class, so why
bother linking it to the Class...And it is relevant to the bxml files not the
classes...
Also means that when you wrap it up in a Jar for deployment the language files
can be sitting outside, so distributors and resellers, or open source community
members etc. can make the application support their language themselves, just
by copying,renaming and modifying the Language file...means we can obfuscate
jars easier etc...
