Setting EGL preferences for Rich UI

You can set EGL Rich UI preferences for locales, appearance, and deployment.

To set the initial Rich UI preferences, do as follows:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window is displayed.
  2. Expand EGL and then Rich UI. The Rich UI pane is displayed.
  3. In the Locales area, specify the locales that are available in the Rich UI editor and in the Rich UI Deployment tab of the EGL deployment descriptor. The settings are used for globalization. The availability of a locale means that you can invoke and deploy a Rich UI application that provides messages appropriate to the locale. For details, see "Use of properties files for displayable text."

    To add a locale, do as follows:

    1. Click Add. The "Create a new locale" window is displayed.
    2. Specify a locale description.
    3. Specify a locale code.
    4. Specify a locale for the EGL runtime messages, which are provided by the EGL runtime code and are distinct from the messages included in a properties file that you customize.
    5. Click Finish.
    To edit a locale, do as follows:
    1. Select a locale entry.
    2. Click Edit. The "Edit locale" window is displayed.
    3. Specify a locale description, a locale code, and a locale for the EGL runtime messages.
    4. Click Finish.
    To remove a locale from the list, do as follows:
    1. Select a locale entry.
    2. Click Remove.
  4. If you want to return the settings on the Rich UI pane to the original product settings, click Restore Defaults.
  5. To save the changes and remain in the Preferences window, click Apply. To save the changes and exit the window, click OK. To cancel the changes and exit the window, click Cancel.
