I am planning doing a sweep through e4 tools and adding all nls strings to property files this weekend, unless anybody has objections to many files being changed at this time.
I was going to do this several months ago, but the tooling(externalize string wizard) was giving me issues when trying to put the strings into a different package using the new eclipse approach. So instead, I wrote a patch that would allow us to do so. https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/26196/ . Bug 434261 - [nls tooling] Allow selection of property file not in source folder. Without this patch, either each string needs to be entered into the java and properties file manually, or the translation files need to be in the same package as the source. This would result in many pairs of translation files. Does anybody object to a pair of translation files in each package? Having multiple files does have the advantage of minimizing merge conflicts.
