Hi,

I have released a new tool at this url yesterday:
http://jxpress.sourceforge.net

Please have a look. I have also made available documentation and screenshots for o­nline viewing.

I hope the tool will be of use to the Java community.
Please download and try it out.

Notes:
This software is a set of eclipse plugins.
1. It provides a means of managing / generating the resourcebundle .properties files
2. It generates Java APIs for creating internationalized message strings, message objects, exception objects with lots of configurable design options.
3. The generated java api wraps around MessageFormat class usages and or ResourceBundle class usages and simplifies concerns.
4. It simplifies parameterized messages with support for pluralisation.
5. Unlike with properties files it proposes and provides a self-validating XML structure using XSD schema validation for storing the internationalization locale specific strings.
6. It proposes and provides a experimental support for keyboard mapping for any language. Out of the box language with support for keyboard mapping is Tamil- ta. New additional keyboard mappings for other languages can be simply imported into the software.
For more information read the o­nline documentation.
Screenshots shown in the o­nline documentation are slightly older and hence slightly different than the actual download.

Requirements:
1. Windows2K. I have tested this in Windows XP o­nly. Although the software is intended to be platform independent currently it is not because I am using some windows fonts in my tool. Will make the fonts configurable per locale later and then make this platform independent.
2. Java1.4 or Java1.5. Lower Java versions will cause problems. (I will make it compatible to lower versions later.)
3. Eclipse eclipse-SDK-3.1M2-win32 and the latest eclipse-SDK-3.1M3-win32. (Those are the versions I used.)

Instructions:
1. Unzip the file release and extract all plugins into the plugins directory of eclipse.
2. Delete the configuration folder
3. Start eclipse.
