Hermes - GWT Server-side I18N Library Written By Matt Bertolini https://github.com/MaliciousMonkey/Hermes About Hermes ============ Hermes gives developers using GWT the ability to use their I18N properties files on the server-side. This library is a fork of the gwt-i18n-server project located at http://code.google.com/p/gwt-i18n-server/. Hermes supports the Messages, Constants, and ConstantsWithLookup interfaces. SafeHtml, Date and number formatting, and Plural forms are supported on the Messages interfaces. License ======= Hermes is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1. See the LICENSE file for full license information. Requirements ============ Hermes version 1.2 requires Java 1.6, GWT 2.2, and ICU 4.6 to run. If you need GWT 2.1 support, use the 1.1.x line. Differences Between Hermes and GWT I18N ======================================= * Since the server side does not have access to the GWT locale information, you are required to pass the locale to Hermes in order to get the correct data. * The locale hierarchy and fallback system as described in the GWT Constants Javadoc is not supported. The locale given to Hermes must match a valid properties file or it will use the default properties file. * Plural form exact values and offsets are not supported. Maven Artifact Info =================== You can get Hermes though the Maven central repository. here is the artifact snippet. <dependency> <groupId>com.mattbertolini</groupId> <artifactId>hermes</artifactId> <version>1.2.0</version> </dependency> Frequently Asked Questions ========================== Why did you fork gwt-i18n-server? --------------------------------- I forked the gwt-i18n-server library because development appeared to be dormant on the existing codebase and I needed bugs fixed. I had submitted some patches to the original developer but no work had been done on the code for over a year. I made the decision to fix the bugs myself and the fork was born. Just about every line of code has been re-written to make the library more compatible with GWT I18N implementation. I found a bug. What do I do? ---------------------------- If you find a bug or other issue with Hermes, please file an issue at https://github.com/MaliciousMonkey/Hermes/issues. When filing a bug, please provide the following information: * Version of Hermes * Version of GWT * Type of interface (Messages, Constants, ConstantsWithLookup * The properties string that is not working * Any arguments passed to the method for inclusion into the string * The observed output * The expected output Giving this information will help me track down the issue and write unit tests to make sure I fix the bug.
