I have a contributed view in an Eclipse RCP application. This view has a localized name %view.name, with the translation on a plugin.properties file to "My View Part".
I am looking into the source code of Eclipse to understand how the internationalization works. So far, I haven't been able to find at what point the value from the properties file is read and assigned as the name of the view.
If I start from the resource reading part, I see that the class ManifestLocalization reads the properties file, but I can't find where it is used.
If I start from the name assignment, I see that the TableReader class gets the name of the view part, but it is already localized. I also saw that Eclipse converts this plugin.xml into some serialized object at some point. Maybe it is done for performance reasons?
So my question is, at what time is this "%view.name" string converted into "My View Part"
