Yeah, I had the feeling that I18NSync would be bit-rotting.
I started with the workflow I described because the docs I read on the
GWT pages made me believe that this is the suggested way. And
actually I like it. Writing a simple properties file and having all
that boilerplate code that I don't want to care about generated
instead of having to write it all by myself sounds nicer to me. I
don't see any advantages having to do it the other way.
Unfortunately, it seems like I am forced to ("forced" of course
meaning being not too inclined to writing my own I18NSync tool).
But I am curious: are there any advantages doing it the way you
outlined?
Thanks and regards,
Thomas
