james strachan commented on FELIX-4378:
---------------------------------------
Aha - adding a description on the @Component is the magic to make it generate
the .properties file - many thanks ;). If this is omited then no properties
file is created which seems a little counter-intuitive. It seems like
something's a little wonky in there somewhere.
I agree it'd be really nice if it checked if the properties file existed. Am
happy to have some kinda flag that says always generate a properties file or
something if its looking a bit complex to preserve backwards compatibility and
add this new behaviour?
Just by adding the @Component(description) field I get this...
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><metatype:MetaData

many thanks for all your help!
> generate a metatype.properties file if label/description values are used on

> Key: FELIX-4378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4378
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven SCR Plugin
> Reporter: james strachan
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: maven-scr-plugin 1.15.0
>
>
> I tried using 1.15.0 of the plugin and added some textual string values
> (which don't start with %) for label/description on @Component and @Property
> and they get generated into the metatype.xml file as text strings.
> I was hoping the XML would use "%foo.label" and "%foo.description" then
> generate a metatype.properties with the mapping of foo.label = "My Label" so
> that folks can add extra languages by just adding a new metatype file?
