Message from the owner(s)

Msg version 0.3 is now available. See changes list for details.

The Msg project has two goals:

To simplify the use of Java's java.util.ResourceBundle and java.text.MessageFormat by generating helper classes with methods for each message in the resource bundle. These methods also introduce compile-time type safety for message arguments, and (within an IDE) enable argument completion.
To extend the java.text.MessageFormat formatting available, and allow the developer to extend it further.

Msggen

Msggen is a tool that generates helper classes with methods for each message in a resource bundle.

See the Msggen page.

Msggen tool binary distribution	msggen.jar 0.3
Msggen tool sources, binaries and documentation.	msggen-dist.zip 0.3
An example Eclipse project showing how Msggen can be used to automatically generate message helper classes whenever your resource bundle is changed. It also shows examples of how XMessageFormat extends the formatting available. If you use Eclipse and are uncertain if Msggen will be useful to you, try: downloading this zip; unzip it into your Eclipse workspace; and create a "general" project called "msggen-eclipse-project". Then experiment with changing the messages.	msggen-eclipse-project.zip

XMessageFormat

The XMessageFormat class is a drop-in replacement for the message formatting functionality in MessageFormat, which can be extended by configuring it to accept additional "FormatTypes" and "FormatStyles" for message arguments. Message parsing has not been implemented.

See the XMessageFormat page, and the Javadoc.

XMessageFormat jar binary distribution	xmsg.jar 0.3
XMessageFormat sources, binaries and examples.	xmsg-dist.zip 0.3

Changes between 0.2 and 0.3 (6/2/2007)

Added Ant task for generating helper classes.
Extended and commented the examples in the msggen-eclipse-project.
Added ref function - one message may now include the text from another.
Added repeat function - repeat a string a number of times in a message.
Bug fix - generated message formatting classes were not thread safe.
Bug fix - I had assumed that only 10 arguments were allowed by MessageFormat - this was incorrect
Bug fix - did not handle null or unavailable arguments, or java.lang.Number & java.util.Date when no formatStyle as described in the MessageFormat.format() javadoc. See the XMessageFormat Todo List about handling developer's own value classes.

Changes between 0.1 and 0.2 (19/12/2006)

Msggen generates classes that use XMessageFormat instead of the standard MessageFormat when the -x option is given.
