java.lang.Objectorg.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS
Common superclass for all message bundle classes. Provides convenience methods for manipulating messages.
The #bind
methods perform string substitution and should be considered a
convenience and not a full substitute replacement for MessageFormat#format
method calls.
Text appearing within curly braces in the given message, will be interpreted
as a numeric index to the corresponding substitution object in the given array. Calling
the #bind
methods with text that does not map to an integer will result in an
IllegalArgumentException
.
Text appearing within single quotes is treated as a literal. A single quote is escaped by a preceeding single quote.
Clients who wish to use the full substitution power of the MessageFormat
class should
call that class directly and not use these #bind
methods.
Clients may subclass this type.
