Steve, I do not understand: You could not put your translation files
into a jar? If this is your only problem and reason for indirection, there
is a cure for that. Of course neither the xml files nor the .properties files
are'nt exposed to "fool around with".
Here are snippets from (one of) my build.xml:
<property name="build.dir" location="build"/>
...
<target name="dist" depends="..." description="...">
<jar jarfile="${build.dir}/ipd-${version}.jar">
<manifest>
<attribute name="main-class" value="..."/>
<attribute name="class-path" value="..."/>
</manifest>
<fileset dir="${build.dir}">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
...
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${resource.dir}">
<include name="**/*.properties"/>
<include name="**/*.gif"/>
<include name="**/*.png"/>
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
<include name="**/*.xsl"/>
<include name="**/*.txt"/>
<include name="**/*.dtd"/>
<exclude name="**/*.bak"/>
<exclude name="**/*~"/>
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement path="${build.dir}" />
<pathelement path="${resource.dir}" />
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar" />
</path>
<target name="run" depends="compile" description="runs">
<java fork="true" classname="..." classpathref="classpath"/>
</target>
The bundle attributes in my swixml files are in no way special like:
<frame size="990,700" title="..." bundle="i18n.messages" id="mainframe"
defaultCloseOperation="WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE">
My resource files are located (as you may have guessed) in
${resource.dir}/i18n/messages*.properties
To summarize, I do not have any other files than jar files to distribute my app
with (ok, one: a dtd file I cannot get rid of, but this matter is not
swixml's).
The jar/distribution subject can be resolved entirely without indirection...

Hm, IMHO this can be done through a change to StringConverter, just split
the text and call the localizer for each part...
