Hi,
I see that in the Java Eclipse Editor there is the “Externalize Strings” in the Source menu .
It helps to find “externizable” strings in the java files and after that it automatically generates the *.properties files, with the proper Unicode escapes /u*** for non-ascii characters.
Unfortunately it does not work for the JSP or struts – so I have to write temporary files encoded in UTF-8 and use:
native2ascii -encoding UTF8 temporary.txt resources_xx.properties.
Three questions:
1. Does anybody know any better and faster method ?
2. Is there any editor for .properties , which generates Unicode escapes automatically ( with two views: ascii code with escapes , and UTF code ).
3. Is MyEclipse going to add full support for “String Exterialization” in the JSP and struts ? If so – when ?

3. We don’t have plans for it right now, but that isn’t to say it couldn’t change very quickly if the user demand were there.

Vitor,
There is already externalization support for Java and class files, just not for JSP files and other resources like that.

You can try right-clicking on a package or your project, go to Source > Externalize Strings… to execute it.
