NLS and StringBuffer

I was surprised to find in the M4 News And Noteworthy list a shortcut to change a concatenated String to StringBuffer.

At first, it looks like a good idea.

String s = "offset " + offset + " is at line " + line;

is changed to:

StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
stringBuffer.append("offset ");
stringBuffer.append(offset);
stringBuffer.append(" is at line ");
stringBuffer.append(line);

I know using StringBuffers is better for performance UPDATE: I confused StringBuffer with StringBuilder! look at this bug for changing StringBuffer to StringBuilder.

I would have rather been going for this:

NLS.bind("offset {0} is at line {1}", offset, line);

Just because this is so much easier to internationalize.

I have almost finished doing i18n for the BPMN modeler, a component of the STP project, and I really lost time on such cases.

Just my $0.02!

SOA Tools Project On Subversion

Adrian Skehill and Matt just finished the migration of the STP project to Subversion.

Thanks for the awesome work guys!

Bugzilla won’t let me look

Bad surprise this morning:

trying to look for all the open bugs of GMF is just not possible apparently.

If you try to work around the limitation by searching for a space ” “, it results into an error:

You may not search, or create saved searches, without any search terms.

The help links look broken: I created the bug 205151 for that.

As for the listing of all open bugs, any workaround or fix is welcome.

RSSifying the Intalio community

I want to help the Intalio community by giving our users the possibility to broadcast their blog posts over a common RSS feed, and eventually a common UI, much like planeteclipse.org works.

Anyone against the name planet.intalio.com ? Please voice your opinions in the comments !
