Modifying a .properties File
The Source Editor has two ways of letting you modify a .properties file:
as a standard text file that lists all the properties and their values for a specific
locale, or in a formatted properites pane, which enables you to view all properties
and their values for all locales.
To modify a property in the Source Editor properties pane:
- Double-click the properties object node (
)
in the Explorer.
The Source Editor properties pane opens displaying all existing keys and
their values for each locale.
- To change a property's key, enter the new name in the Key column. To change
a property's value for a locale, enter the new value in the locale's column.
To modify a .property file as a text file:
- Expand the properties object node in the Explorer.
- Right-click the locale you want to modify and choose Edit. If you choose
Edit from the properties object node's contextual menu, the IDE opens the
default locale in the Source Editor.
- Make the desired changes and choose File
Save to save your changes.
To change a property's key from the Explorer:
- Expand the properties object node in the Explorer.
- Expand the node for the desired locale.
- Right-click the property key node and choose Rename.
- Enter a new name for the property and click OK.
