Hi,

I understand this may be an exotic request and I realize you guys probably already have lots of stuff on your todo lists, but I would like to request a feature where the jsf editor would offer me (in a context menu) the ability to insert missing resourcebundle keys.

An integration with the popular ResourceBundle Editor (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/) would really be great for this.

E.g.

Inside the JSF editor I would type something like:

#{i18n['profile.userEmail']}

The editor would then detect that the bundle “profile” doesn’t have the key “userEmail”. When I click on the warning annotation or icon in the margin, a context menu would popup offering me the quick fix “create key”. If I click that, the editor would switch to the integrated ResourceBundle Editor with the key already created and just waiting for me to input a value.

Currently we have to switch a lot between the JSF pages we’re editing and the resource editor, constantly having to copy and paste the correct keys (either from the resource editor to the jsf editor or the other way around).

After a while you can’t stop thinking that this process should somehow be a lot easier 😉

Arjan,
Very cool suggestion. This may be a post-6.0 item though as 5.5 is getting to GA here in the next 4 weeks and 6.0 is almost all completely committed on resources.

I will file it though because I’d personally love to see it happen.
