implementation of the systray plugin

Hello,

I am the student in charge of the systray plugin.
In order to code the right-click menu properly, it would be
logical to
use the same internationalized strings (I18NString) than the
GUI.
However, the classes needed are in the /impl/gui/ directory,
which
doesn't allow me to use them (if I understand correctly how
sip-communicators works - i can use the classes in
/service/).

I think that the class ImageLoader (to put some icons in the
menu)
suffer of the same problem.

If my questions have some sense, is there a way to solve
this situation ?

Thank you in advance for your help
Nicolas Chamouard

For those unaware of the context - we've been giving student
projects 
locally (in Louis Pasteur University) consisting in
implementing various 
plugins. Nicolas has volunteered to work on extended support
for the OS 
systray.

In fact we don't have a global internationalization
mechanism, so the 
mechanism used in the GUI is for internal use only. Each
plugin should 
do the internationalization on its own. You could see how
it's done in 
the icqaccregwizz plugin.

All images you use should be stored in 
resources/images/plugin/thenameofyourplugin/. To access the
image you 
could use the same mechanism as in icqaccregwizz plugin.
(there images 
are stored locally and this is not correct, but the
mechanism that you 
should use to access images is the same).

Hello all,

I following up on Nicolas's mail because we're having the
same
problem.  We would like to use images in the menu for our
plugin but
I'm a little confused still as to how to really implement
that.

So, we should store our resources (images) in
resources/images/plugin/thenameofyourplugin/ but use the
same
principle used in the icqaccregwizz plugin.  Here are the
steps I
took.
- I stored an image in
resources/images/plugin/contactmailer/
- I created a resources.properties file in the package of my
plugin
- I copied the Resources.java file and also put it in the
package of my plugin

Now the question is, how do I access the file?  Which path
should
replace the one in Resources.java for the private static
final String
BUNDLE_NAME and the one in resources.properties?

Now, if anyone has any idea, please share.  Thanks

Max

That's correct.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The BUNDLE_NAME for
you should 
be: net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.contactmailer.resources
- this 
points to the resources.properties file and has nothing to
do with your 
image path. In the resources.properties file you should have
something 
like this:

myIcon=net/java/sip/communicator/resources/images/myplugin/m
yIcon.jpg

and in the code, when you would like to use this icon you
could make:

Resources.getImage("myIcon")

In the icqaccregwizz we have made an ImageID object in plus,
but you 
could use simply a string.
