Description hjs 2010-06-14 18:14:07 UTC 
the current L10N process doesn't allow direct processing of .property resource
files. this task is about integrating that format as yet another resource type
into the common L10n process.
Comment 1 hjs 2010-06-14 18:26:51 UTC 
sample makefile snippet to get localized .properties files:

------
L10NPROPERTYFILES:=$(CLASS)/$(PACKAGE)/myfile.properties
------

or

------
L10NPROPERTYFILES:=$(CLASS)/$(PACKAGE)/myfile_en_US.properties
------

source language .properties files are expected to reside in the current
directory. currently the only supported destination is $(CLASS)/$(PACKAGE) -
which seems to be sufficient for all found use cases.

for the processing makefile check out solenv/inc/tg_propmerge.mk

.
Comment 3 hjs 2010-06-15 12:48:29 UTC 
correction: must be CLASSDIR instead of just CLASS

------
L10NPROPERTYFILES:=$(CLASSDIR)/$(PACKAGE)/myfile.properties
------

or

------
L10NPROPERTYFILES:=$(CLASSDIR)/$(PACKAGE)/myfile_en_US.properties
------
