Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hello to all,

I'm trying to localize a JFileChooser in OSX; The problem is that the elements on the JFileChooser doesn't get localized after setting a defaut locale before instantiating any of the Swing components. If you run the following code in OSX () you will see the problem:

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.util.Locale;

import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class TestJFileChooserLocalization {
	/**
	 * @param args
	 * @throws InvocationTargetException 
	 * @throws InterruptedException 
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, InvocationTargetException {
		Locale esL = new Locale("es", "VE");
		Locale.setDefault(esL);
		final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		final JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
		frame.add(chooser);
		EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
			@Override
			public void run() {
				frame.pack();
				frame.setVisible(true);
				chooser.showSaveDialog(frame);
			}
		});
	}
}
{code}After checking on this forums and the Internet I found the following information that suggests how to solve the problem by replacing the text properties using the class UIManager:

[http://lists.apple.com/archives/Java-dev/2006/Apr/msg00281.html]

At the end, I resorted to put my custom text on a ResourceBundle and setting this properties before any Swing component gets instantiated and that works (just showing up the changes):
[code]
	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, InvocationTargetException {
		Locale esL = new Locale("es", "VE");
		Locale.setDefault(esL);
		ResourceBundle jfilechooserBndl = ResourceBundle.getBundle("JFileChooser", esL);
		Enumeration<String> keyEn = jfilechooserBndl.getKeys();
		while (keyEn.hasMoreElements()) {
			String key = keyEn.nextElement();
			UIManager.put(key, jfilechooserBndl.getString(key));
		}
		final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		final JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
		frame.add(chooser);
		EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
			@Override
			public void run() {
				frame.pack();
				frame.setVisible(true);
				chooser.showSaveDialog(frame);
			}
		});
	}
[/code]

And the ResourceBundle:

[code]
FileChooser.fileNameLabelText=Nombre del archivo
FileChooser.homeFolderToolTipText=Directorio hogar
FileChooser.newFolderToolTipText=Nueva carpeta
FileChooser.listViewButtonToolTipTextlist=Ver lista
FileChooser.detailsViewButtonToolTipText=Detalles
FileChooser.newFolderButtonText=Nueva carpeta
FileChooser.saveButtonText=Guardar
FileChooser.openButtonText=Abrir
FileChooser.cancelButtonText=Cancelar
FileChooser.updateButtonText=Actualizar
FileChooser.helpButtonText=Ayuda
FileChooser.saveButtonToolTipText=Guardar
FileChooser.openButtonToolTipText=Abrir
FileChooser.cancelButtonToolTipText=Cancelar
FileChooser.updateButtonToolTipText=Actualizar
FileChooser.helpButtonToolTipText=Ayuda
FileChooser.lookInLabelText=Buscar en
FileChooser.filesOfTypeLabelText=Archivos de tipo
FileChooser.upFolderToolTipText=Ir un nivel arriba
[/code]

Here are my questions:

# Is this the best way to solve this problem? I wonder if this leaves you open to a chance on the name of the properties in the future
# There is a way to get the FULL list of properties tht can be set for a JFileChooser?

Thanks in advance.

Jose.
