messages.properties

Reports problems in the properties files contained in the resource bundle.

• Report missing translations

Use this option to report properties contained in the parent properties file that are missing in inherited ones (unless it's a language dialect).

Example:

# messages.properties
    abc=xxx

    # messages_fr.properties
    # Empty file

Property abc will be reported as untranslated.

• Report inconsistent properties

Use this option to report properties contained in inherited properties file that are missing in the parent one (or in siblings if there is no parent).

Example:

# messages.properties
    # Empty file

    # messages_fr.properties
    abc=xxx

Property abc translation is not available here for any language except French, and, thus, will be reported as missing in the (default) properties file messages.properties.

• Report properties overridden with the same value

Use this option to report properties copy-pasted into several properties files verbatim.

Example:

# messages.properties
    abc=xxx

    # messages_fr.properties
    abc=xxx

Property abc will be reported as unnecessarily inherited in the file messages_fr.properties .

• Report properties overridden with different placeholders

Use this option to check for placeholder consistency in overridden properties.

Example:

# messages.properties
    qwe={0}xxx{1}
    abc={0}yyy{1}

    # messages_fr.properties
    qwe={0}xxx{0}xxx{1}
    abc={0}yyy

Property abc will be reported as a property containing message format placeholders not corresponding to messages.properties.

• Report properties overridden with different values endings

Use this option to check for ending consistency in overridden properties.

Example:

# messages.properties
    abc=xxxzzz

    # messages_fr.properties
    abc=xxx;

Property abc will be reported as ending with special signs (! / ? / . / : / ;) whereas the parent value in messages.properties doesn't.
