@jat: yes exactly.
To be more precise, here is an extract of the last mail I sent to Ray on
this topic :
I struggle with the way UiBinder handles the messages properties file name.
When UIBinder catches a <ui:msg>, he generates (internally thru
MessagesWriter class) an i18n messages file named
<ui.xml.name><uiBinderName>ImplGenMessages.
1) I'm not supposed to know the naming scheme nor the generated messages
interface name, right ? so how can I provide (without putting a -extra
param at compile time and looking for the classes in the target
directories) the right properties file ?
2) In that case, the generated interface is called
i18nScreenMyUiBinderImplGenMessages and I have to provide for each locales
the following file properties i18nScreenMyUiBinderImplGenMessages.properties
The naming scheme is really not intuitive and my ui.xml file name is pretty
simple.
Couldn't we provide a mechanism to override the [prefix]_GenMessages
template file name ?
Basically, it would just be about allowing the user to put an annotation in
his template that would be used by the MessageWriter class.
Here is MessageWriter.java constructor :
{{{
// Localizable classes cannot have underscores in their names.
this.messagesClassName = uiBinderImplClassName.replaceAll("_", "")
+ "GenMessages";
}}}
would be replaced by
{{{
this.messagesClassName = getAnnotation("@genMessagesFileName);
}}}
