Native2Ascii Plugin for SBT

This is a direct port of the maven plugin for the native2ascii tool provided as part of the JDK

Usage

Add the plugin to your Plugins.scala within your project:

  import sbt._
  class Plugins(info: ProjectInfo) extends PluginDefinition(info) {
    val native2ascii = "eu.getintheloop" % "sbt-native2ascii-plugin" % "0.1.0"
  }

…and then mix the Native2Ascii trait into your project:

  class SampleProject(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultWebProject(info) with Native2AsciiPlugin {
    ...
  }

Ensure you have all your localization .txt files in src/main/i18n and by default they will be translated into your application resources folder in src/main/resources.

Then, from your SBT prompt just hit:

> native2ascii

All being well you should then see something like:

  [info] == native2ascii ==
  [info] Encoding '.txt' to '.properties' file(s) in src/main/resources
  [info] Translation complete.
  [info] == native2ascii ==

Options

Override any of the following methods to change the default behaviour:

By default this plugin expects your input translation files to be UTF-8 encoded. Change this setting to affect the encoding passed to native2ascii
def encoding: String = "UTF-8"

Where should native2ascii look for you r
def translationInputPath: Path = mainSourcePath / "i18n"

The file extension of your input translation texts (the ones located in translationInputPath)
def translationInputExtension: String = "txt"

The file location to place the escaped translation files
def translationOutputPath: Path = mainResourcesPath

The file extension of your output translations
def translationOutputExtension: String = "properties"
