Properties editor independent of locales (Enhancement)

Hi all,

i use this tool for years now and I really like it a lot!

Now I ran into a problem with property files that are not used for localization.
I would like to maintain properties files with environment specific content (like my_development.properties, my_integration.properties, etc.), so they are like resource bundle files, but they are not named after locales. However, rbe is - for whatever reasons - restricted to locales.

To me RBE is a properties file editor, that allows to handle files with a certain naming pattern (_.properties). So it would be great to remove the restriction to locales. Perhaps it is possible to add a way to allow different sets of suffixes, where locales are just one of them. Or at least a choice between locales and free text.

While searching Google and the Eclipse marketplace I have not found an alternative that gives parallel access to all of your files like RBE and allows to handle non-resourceBundle properties.

Regards,
Johannes

Hi,

In my opinion this request has very low priority due to very limited usage. Nevertheless feel free to contribute!
