| <H3 ALIGN="CENTER">View 1. The Resource Bundle Tree</H3> |
| <P>Located on the left of the RB Manager application is a section for displaying |
| a resource bundle in a tree view. Resource Bundles usually are made up |
| of text or class files in a flat directory structure. However, the locale |
| encodings given to each file makes a tree view a natural way to look at |
| the bundle.</P> |
| <P>When RB Manager is initially launched, this view is empty, since there |
| is no open resource bundle. Upon opening a valid resource bundle, the |
| tree is updated to reflect the opened bundle. In the following screen |
| shots, you will see the tree for the resource bundle associate with RB |
| Manager itself.</P> |
| <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_tree_basic.gif" WIDTH="642" HEIGHT="499"></P> |
| <P>The top most element of the tree (the root of the tree) represents the |
| resource bundle as a whole. Below the root are resource files, which are |
| represented with the file icons with a letter in the middle, and language, |
| country, and variant branches. Language branches are represented by an |
| icon with a globe. Beneath these can be language branches represented |
| by an icon with a flag. Beneath these can be variant branches represented |
| by an icon with a cartoon dialog symbol. Beneath any of the branch nodes, |
| resource files can be found.</P> |
| <P>The name of the root of the tree is the base name of the resource bundle, |
| in the example above, the bundle is called RBManager. The name of the |
| file nodes in the tree will vary according to where in the tree they are. |
| Each language file will display the language, country, and variant information |
| that it knows about followed by the encoding of the file's locale in parenthesies. |
| The branch nodes will indicate whether they are language, country, or |
| variant branches, and will display the encoding associated with that branch.</P> |
| <P>RB Manager functions in two basic ways for everything it does, either |
| for the resource bundle as a whole or for an individual resource file. |
| To make changes and updates to the entire resource bundle, select the |
| root node notated by the 'RB' icon at the top of the tree. This will also |
| cause the statistics and search views to present results reflecting the |
| status of the entire bundle. To work with an individual resource file, |
| select a file from the tree by clicking on it. Now changes and views will |
| reflect only this selected resource file.</P> |
| <P>Note that selecting the various branch nodes does not have any meaning |
| in the current version of RBManager. In future versions the ability to |
| work on subtrees may be added, but for now either select the resource |
| bundle or an individual file.</P> |
| <P>Understanding the difference between working with the resource bundle |
| and working with a resource file is crucial to using RB Manager. Normally |
| developers adding resources or manager wishing to know the statuts of |
| translation efforts will work from the root level. Translators and managers |
| of individual resource files will more often work from the resource file |
| level. Once the difference is understood, the functionality of the views |
| in the tab will be easier to understand.</P> |
