Ernst Van der Linden pointed me out to a great eclipse plugin to use when using ColdBox's Internationalization features. This plugin is the Eclipse Resource Bundles Plugin

Click for more screenshots

This is an incredible plugin that will help you work with multi-language resource bundles right from within eclipse. I Include the Attessor tool with ColdBox to facilitiate the usage of resource bundles, but this tool takes the cake.

  • It shows the property keys as a list or as a tree
  • It shows all the available locales at the same time
  • You can easily see multi-language translations at one time
  • Change languages with ease
  • New Language wizard that will blow your mind
  • If founds missed keys in any locale and displays a warning icon.
  • It saves the keys grouped, in alphabetical order and with the equal signs aligned.
  • It escapes Unicode characters that are not inside the ASCII subset. Example: Cu00F3digo postal for Código postal.
  • It founds duplicate property values.
  • Much More...

if this is the same plug-in i'm thinking about:

- it also trashes every other s/w RB so be very careful if you have to use RB from multiple sources (ask the farcry folks if you don't believe me)

- it can write stuff out as UTF-8 (default behavior?), this can be incredibly BAD except for flex i guess ;-)

btw escaping chars & the rest of the stuff you mention is supposed to be standard behavior for RB editors.

Thanks Paul,

Good Notes for the people using it. I found it and played around with it. I still love my Attesoro tool though!!

BoxLang 1.18.0 Released : Every Cloud, Every Node, Every Agent

Azure joins the serverless family. Scheduled tasks become cluster-safe. And the whole platform gets documentation and skills built for developers and AI agents working side by side.

If you run a technology organization, you are being asked to do three things at once: ship faster, keep the estate you already have running, and make AI part of how your teams work. Most stacks make you choose. BoxLang 1.18 is another step toward not having to.

ColdBox 8.2 Deep Dive, Part 4 of 5 : AI Routing and Gateways

We've been building AI into the core of ColdBox since 8.0, because the applications teams are asked to build have changed. They talk to models, stream answers, expose tools to other AI systems, and increasingly host agents that act on behalf of users. None of that should require bespoke plumbing in every project.
