<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">View 1. The Resource Bundle Tree</H3>
|
|
<P>Located on the left of the RB Manager application is a section for displaying
|
|
a resource bundle in a tree view. Resource Bundles usually are made up
|
|
of text or class files in a flat directory structure. However, the locale
|
|
encodings given to each file makes a tree view a natural way to look at
|
|
the bundle.</P>
|
|
<P>When RB Manager is initially launched, this view is empty, since there
|
|
is no open resource bundle. Upon opening a valid resource bundle, the
|
|
tree is updated to reflect the opened bundle. In the following screen
|
|
shots, you will see the tree for the resource bundle associate with RB
|
|
Manager itself.</P>
|
|
<P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_tree_basic.gif" WIDTH="642" HEIGHT="499"></P>
|
|
<P>The top most element of the tree (the root of the tree) represents the
|
|
resource bundle as a whole. Below the root are resource files, which are
|
|
represented with the file icons with a letter in the middle, and language,
|
|
country, and variant branches. Language branches are represented by an
|
|
icon with a globe. Beneath these can be language branches represented
|
|
by an icon with a flag. Beneath these can be variant branches represented
|
|
by an icon with a cartoon dialog symbol. Beneath any of the branch nodes,
|
|
resource files can be found.</P>
|
|
<P>The name of the root of the tree is the base name of the resource bundle,
|
|
in the example above, the bundle is called RBManager. The name of the
|
|
file nodes in the tree will vary according to where in the tree they are.
|
|
Each language file will display the language, country, and variant information
|
|
that it knows about followed by the encoding of the file's locale in parenthesies.
|
|
The branch nodes will indicate whether they are language, country, or
|
|
variant branches, and will display the encoding associated with that branch.</P>
|
|
<P>RB Manager functions in two basic ways for everything it does, either
|
|
for the resource bundle as a whole or for an individual resource file.
|
|
To make changes and updates to the entire resource bundle, select the
|
|
root node notated by the 'RB' icon at the top of the tree. This will also
|
|
cause the statistics and search views to present results reflecting the
|
|
status of the entire bundle. To work with an individual resource file,
|
|
select a file from the tree by clicking on it. Now changes and views will
|
|
reflect only this selected resource file.</P>
|
|
<P>Note that selecting the various branch nodes does not have any meaning
|
|
in the current version of RBManager. In future versions the ability to
|
|
work on subtrees may be added, but for now either select the resource
|
|
bundle or an individual file.</P>
|
|
<P>Understanding the difference between working with the resource bundle
|
|
and working with a resource file is crucial to using RB Manager. Normally
|
|
developers adding resources or manager wishing to know the statuts of
|
|
translation efforts will work from the root level. Translators and managers
|
|
of individual resource files will more often work from the resource file
|
|
level. Once the difference is understood, the functionality of the views
|
|
in the tab will be easier to understand.</P>
