We are considering moving from a NetBeans project to MyEclipse and M4M.

I have noticed that M4M does not support setting text properties using a resource string as NetBeans does. This is a deal-breaker for us unfortunately so I really hope you have plans to include this in an upcoming release.

Looking at the .form file, settings like this are simply removed by M4M resulting in empty strings being shown in the UI:

<Component class="javax.swing.JLabel" name="lblSelectMibView">
  <Properties>
    <Property name="text" type="java.lang.String" editor="org.netbeans.modules.i18n.form.FormI18nStringEditor">
      <ResourceString bundle="com/example/Messages.properties" key="TEXT_KEY" replaceFormat="java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("{bundleNameSlashes}").getString("{key}")"/>
    </Property>
  </Properties>
</Component>

We know about this and we already have it on our TODO. We will try to get this out asap. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

[Chris Kovacs]

Good to know you’re working on it. Thank you for the response. Is there any way I track when this fix will be available?

[Loyal Water]

Im afraid there is not way for you to track this but I’ll keep you updated on this thread.

[Chris Kovacs]

Subscribing to thread.

This support will be in the 8.x release family and it’s very important for our planned Matisse rework that will take place on the Eclipse 3.5 platform later this year.

Has this been addressed in 8.0M1? I don’t see it in the list of “Recent Enhancements and Fixes” for 8.0M1

Thanks.

[Chris Kovacs]

Since I haven’t gotten a response, I had to test this out myself. This hasn’t been resolved. It’s the same issue.

I need an update on the status of this problem.

[Loyal Water]

We didn’t have time to get this into the 8.0 release unfortunately, but we are considering a larger scale Matisse refresh all together for the 8.5 release early next year
