Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-940:
--------------------------------------
Hi Mark, you request is interesting and could be useful to cover other your use
case, but I'm sorry I don't think it's possible currently (with a workaround).
Note that localization json files currently can be used from Java code, to I
think it would be better to try to add this an an additional feature for BXML,
so for 2.1 (currently in trunk).
If you have suggestions/comments/etc on this, please tell to us.
Thanks for now. Bye
> 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
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Localization
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> 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...
