Returns the Messages object with the best-match possible for the specified Windows locale ID.

Parameters

localeId	a Window-based locale ID.

Returns

a Messages object

public Messages getMessages ()

This method is deprecated.
No replacement.

Returns the Messages object with the java.util.Locale specified at initialization time.

Returns

a Messages object.

public AbstractConfigurationElement.FilteredList getPartiallySupportedMessageInfoList ()

Returns

the list of partially supported locales, in that they are recognized by this application, but are not fully localized.

public static void init (String filePath)

public void load (String fileName)

Loads the file with the given name and initializes this ConfigurationElement with its content.

Parameters

fileName	The path to the configuration file. This path will be resolved by the `FileLoader`

Throws

ConfigException

public void setBundleName (String value)

Sets the base name for the bundle holding the messages.

Protected Methods

protected String getKeyAttribute ()

This method must return the attribute that uniquely identifies this element among its siblings; if no single attribute can be used, return null and override the getKey and setKey methods.

protected void initDefaultAttributes ()

This method can be overridden to set default values for attributes. Simply extend this method and call setAttribute(String, Object)
