Class IndexedResourceCompiler

Object
IndexedResourceCompiler
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparator<Object>

public final class IndexedResourceCompiler extends Object implements Comparator<Object>
Resource compiler. This class is run from the command line at compile time only. IndexedResourceCompiler scans for .properties files and copies their content to .utf files using UTF8 encoding. It also checks for key validity and checks values for MessageFormat compatibility. Finally, it creates a FooKeys.java source file declaring resource keys as integer constants.

This class must be run from the maven root of Geotools project.

IndexedResourceCompiler and all FooKeys classes don't need to be included in the final JAR file. They are used at compile time only and no other classes should keep reference to them.
