[jira] [Created] (DERBY-5878) Add message argument names, as
comments, to English message file produced by MessageBuilder.
Rick Hillegas created DERBY-5878:
------------------------------------
Summary: Add message argument names, as comments, to English message file produced by MessageBuilder.
Key: DERBY-5878
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5878
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
The MessageBuilder program turns messages.xml into two output files:
1) The DITA source for the Reference Guide section on error messages.
2) The messages_en.properties file of engine messages.
All of the translators I have dealt with want to use (2) as the English input for their translations. I believe this is because translators have written their own tools and those tools expect to work on properties files.
Messages may have arguments. Those arguments appear as sub-elements of the messages in messages.xml. The arguments turn up in (1) but are thrown away when MessageBuilder produces (2). We can help translators do a better job by also writing the arguments as comments in (2).

Attachment: derby-5878-03-aa-addBracketedArgNumbersToComments.diff
Attaching derby-5878-03-aa-addBracketedArgNumbersToComments.diff. Committed at subversion revision 1369040.
The translators asked me to add bracketed argument numbers to the comments in the generated English properties file. So, instead of generating
# Arguments:
#
# connectionName
#
...we now generate
# Arguments:
#
# {0} = connectionName

---------------------------------
Attachment: derby-5878-01-aa-argsAsComments.diff
Attaching derby-5878-01-aa-argsAsComments.diff. This patch changes MessageBuilder so that it writes message arguments into messages_en.properties. I will run regression tests.
Here is a sample message from messages_en.properties BEFORE applying the patch:
08004.C.9=Missing permission for user ''{0}'' to shutdown system [{1}].
Here is the same message AFTER applying this patch:
# Arguments:
#
# authorizationID
# exceptionMsg

---------------------------------
Attachment: derby-5878-02-aa-commentElements.diff
Attaching derby-5878-02-aa-commentElements.diff. This patch adds the ability to add comment blocks to English messages in messages.xml. These comments are copied to messages_en.properties to help translators understand the messages better. Committed at subversion revision 1367230.
Touches the following files:
--------------
M java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/MessageBuilder.java
Added code to look for <comment> sub-elements of <msg> elements. When they are found, they are prefixed as a comment header on the corresponding English property in messages_en.properties.
--------------
M java/engine/org/apache/derby/loc/messages.xml
Added a header comment noting that comments can now be added to message descriptors.
