<Swing Dev> Issue 5090726 - GTK L&F: Need new FileChooserUI to match native GTK 2.4 widget

[Costantino Cerbo]

Hello Pavel,

Could you try with this updated version:
  http://gtkjfilechooser.googlecode.com/files/GtkJFileChooser_v1.3.1.zip

The reason for this exception is that I'use the native gtk bundles for the I18N.
For example under Fedora it is in
  /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20.mo
But under Ubuntu and Suse respectively in /usr/share/locale-langpack
and /usr/share/locale-bundle

What OS do you use? and where is your gtk20.mo?

I know, that isn't the standay way the I18N is done in Swing, but for
the moment I wanted to "recycle" the gnome bundles.
For the next releases we can adopt the standard Swing way.

Let me know if now it works correctly.
Bye,
Costantino

P.S.: The error was here:
http://code.google.com/p/gtkjfilechooser/source/browse/branches/release_1_3/GtkJFileChooser/src/eu/kostia/gtkjfilechooser/I18N.java
I've also writtern a wiki page about gettext:
