6.2.3. Localizing Internationalized Loggers, Messages and Exceptions

Procedure 6.4. Generate New Translation Properties Files with Maven

1. Add Maven configuration

   Add the -AgenereatedTranslationFilePath compiler argument to the Maven compiler plug-in configuration and assign it the path where the new files will be created.

   <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.3.2</version>
      <configuration> 
         <source>1.6</source>
         <target>1.6</target>             
         <compilerArgument>
         -AgeneratedTranslationFilesPath=${project.basedir}/target/generated-translation-files
         </compilerArgument>
         <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>
      </configuration>
   </plugin>

   The above configuration will create the new files in the target/generated-translation-files directory of your Maven project.

2. Build the project

   Build the project using Maven.

   [Localhost]$ mvn compile
