Add a resource string

A common customization scenario involves replacing the terminology used by the application with terminology that is more appropriate to the organization where the application is deployed. You might also want to replace application images with the own images.

To ensure that this is possible, the IBM Sales Center application is designed to allow you to replace text and images that appear on the user interface.

To add a new resource string:

Procedure

1. Create a new resource bundle in a customization plug-in. See the Javadoc for java.util.ResourceBundle for an example of how a resource bundle will be structured.

2. The resource bundle should be created in an appropriate package along with the Java source. It needs to be in the class path.

3. Define an extension definition of the resource bundle extension point.

   For example, here is the plugin.xml for a custom plug-in called extensions:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <?eclipse version="3.0"?>
   <plugin> 
   
     
   <extension
   point="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.resources.resources">      
   <resourceBundle baseName="extensions.resources"/>   
   </extension>
   </plugin>
