Internationalization (i18n)
What languages are supported?
The supported languages are English, German, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
Can I get Stardust in another language?
A: Stardust's portal, error messages and Eclipse plugins are fully i18ned and can be translated by anyone into additional languages. One only has to create and translate the corresponding resource bundles. We found a convenient way to do this using excelbundle and create a script to make the rountrip (translation-update-review-adjustment) easier. This way also non technical people can work on the translation in an Excel sheet.
Trouble Shooting
How can I prevent OutOfMemoryErrros on Tomcat?
The default Tomcat settings (in a RAD scenario) do not allocate much memory. Hence the application may run often out of memory quite frequently. The console log will often throw a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception. To avoid this, just add a different memory settings in the Tomcat launch configuration:
Servers > Open Launch Configuration > Arguments > VM arguments > at the very bottom add >
-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
On a standalone server (outside eclipse RAD environment) start tomcat using:
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
catalina.bat run
