I've almost finished the internationalization of the Super Select Plug-In. I had a couple of questions about best practices for I18N in Java:
[1] Is there a limit to the size of a String that should be internationalized in a Resource Bundle? For example, I have a couple paragraphs of help text that appear in a little JFrame. Is this really appropriate for internationlization, or is the internationalization method only meant for shorter and more terse phrases. (Longer strings just look a little odd in the prbEditor interface.) [2] I've decided to put all my internationalization code in a separate method of each of my GUI classes, instead of having them sprinkled throught the code that sets up and intializes each JComponent on my form. I think this has some advantages, especially if someone ever wants to modify our mechanism for accessing I18N Strings. Does anyone see a problem with this approach.
