# JavaPM
## Java Properties Manager
JavaPM is a set of scripts for localizing Java projects using XLIFF as an intermediate format.
JavaPM scans a source folder for all Java resource bundles and converts all source .properties files into a single XLIFF file.
After translating an XLIFF file created by JavaPM, import it to generate the .properties files corresponding to the target language.
## Binary downloads
You can download compressed binary packages for Windows, macOS and Linux from [https://maxprograms.com/products/javapm.html](https://maxprograms.com/products/javapm.html).
## Convert .properties to XLIFF
Running `.\createxliff.bat` or `./createxliff.sh` without parameters displays help for XLIFF generation.
```text
Usage:
createxliff.bat [-help] -src sourceFolder -xliff xliffFile -srcLang sourceLanguage [-tgtLang targetLanguage] [-reuse] [-2.0]
Where:
-help: (optional) display this help information and exit
-src: source code folder
-xliff: XLIFF file to generate
-srcLang: source language code
-enc: (optional) character set code for .properties files; default: ISO-8859-1
-tgtLang: (optional) target language code
-reuse: (optional) reuse existing translations
-2.0: (optional) generate XLIFF 2.0
```
## Import translated XLIFF
Running `.\mergexliff.bat` or `./mergexliff.sh` without parameters displays help for importing translated XLIFF files.
```text
Usage:
mergexliff.sh [-help] -src sourceFolder -xliff xliffFile
Where:
-help: (optional) display this help information and exit
-src: source code folder
-xliff: XLIFF file to merge
-unapproved: (optional) accept translations from unapproved segments
-export: (optional) generate TMX file from approved segments
```
## Build Requirements
- JDK 17 or newer is required for compiling and building.
- Apache Ant 1.10.12 or newer.
Pre-built binaries already include everything you need to run all options.
## Building
- Checkout this repository.
- Point your JAVA_HOME variable to JDK 17
- Run `ant` to generate a binary distribution in `./dist`
### Steps for building
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/rmraya/JavaPM.git
cd JavaPM
ant
```
A binary distribution will be created in `/dist` folder.
