Java library providing simple and standalone use of the JSR-296 (Swing Application Framework) ResourceMap implementation.
Requires Java 1.5 or newer.
Making the resource map:
package com.foobar;
import java.util.Locale;
import com.dteoh.treasuremap.ResourceMaps;
import org.jdesktop.application.ResourceMap;
class Foo {
// Create a ResourceMap for Foo only
ResourceMap rMap = new ResourceMaps(Foo.class).build();
// Create a ResourceMap for Bar with Foo's map as the parent
ResourceMap rMap2 = new ResourceMaps(Bar.class).withParent(rMap).build();
// Create a ResourceMap for Foo and Bar all in one
ResourceMap rMapFB = new ResourceMaps(Foo.class).and(Bar.class).build();
// Create a ResourceMap for RainbowA and RainbowB with a parent map
ResourceMap rMapWhoa = new ResourceMaps(RainbowA.class).and(RainbowB.class).withParent(rMapFB).build();
// Create a ResourceMap for the "ABC" Locale
ResourceMap rMap = new ResourceMaps(Foo.class, new Locale("ABC")).build();
}For the above example, a properties file named "Foo.properties" should be created in the "com.foobar.resources" package as the properties for the Foo class. For the "ABC" locale, a file named "Foo_ABC.properties" should be created.
By default, the builder will create the resource map using the JVM's default locale.
All ResourceMap use patterns are as laid out by the SAF implementation.
- Extra resource converters: getImage, getDimension
- Explicit locale can be specified
- No need to instantiate the entire application just to load resources. (At the time of writing, BSAF throws a runtime exception if the application is not running. SAF creates a fake application instance.) Not having to instantiate the application allows you to perform unit tests.
The library is licensed as LGPL v2.1.
