l10ngen Utility

The l10ngen utility processes the locale-specific catalogs in directories that are

subordinate to the top-level catalogs.

Syntax
java -classpath <l10n_Classpath> weblogic.i18ntools.l10ngen
[options] filelist

where <l10n_Classpath> should include <WebLogic

Home>/lib/weblogic.jar
-i18n Creates the internationalizer source (for example,
*Logger.java) that supports the logging of
internationalized messages.
-l10n Creates the localizer source (property resource bundles)
that provides access to each message defined in each
message catalog. These properties are used by
localization utilities to localize messages.
-compile Compiles generated Java files using the current
CLASSPATH. The resulting classes are placed in the
directory identified by the -d option. Errors detected
during compilation generally result in no class files or
properties file being created. i18ngen exits with a bad
exit status.
-nobuild Parse and validate only
files Process the files and directories in this list of files. If
directories are listed, the command processes all XML
files in the listed directories. The names of all files must
include an XML suffix. All files must conform to the
msgcat.dtd syntax. i18ngen prints the
fully-qualified list of names (Java source) to the stdout
log for those files actually generated.
