How to add properties files for internationalization

[diddy]

 Hi,

I currently have my properties files for my report in the same folder as the jrxml file. When I try to add the resource bundle, JasperStudio uses the relative path (and not just the filename as iReport does). When I then click preview, I get an error message saying that the file could not be found. Exactly the same report works perfectly in iReport when using just the filename without the extension. Does someone know how to get this working in JasperStudio?

Thanks,

Diethard

 ... ok I got it working. If somebody has to same problem, here is how to solve it:

(1) Make sure your report is within a Java Project folder and contains a src folder.

(2) Put your properties files within this src folder if you already created them elsewhere. Otherwise, right click on the src folder and choose to add a new file. This file has to have the extension .properties. You can open the file then with the build-in text editor and create the key value pairs.

(3) Choose the root element of your report. In the properties dialog go to Advanced > Misc, expand Main Query, then for Resource Bundle choose the properties file. Note: In the current version of JasperStudio, the relative path will be inserted. This is wrong.

(4) Time to fix this: Save the report. Close it. Right click on the report file, choose Open with > Text editor. Look/Search for the resource bundle reference and replace the relative path with just the filename (and NO file extension). 

Now everything will work.
