How to use mergelocales.py for GWT across Multiple Projects

I have some projects:

• WebShared (Java Library project)
• WebExternal (GWT Web Application)
• WebInterna开发者_如何转开发l (GWT Web Application)

I have UI Binder's which are shared between WebExternal and WebInternal, and I organize those under the "WebShared" project.

I am now adding i18n support, and I want to use UI Binder's <ui:msg> tags, and consolidate them using the GWT-P mergelocales.py script.

Mergelocales.py works by running against a GWT app that was GWT compiled using the -extra parameter. Since WebShared is not a GWT app, running the script against it produces no output. Additionally, running mergelocales.py against WebExternal or WebInternal does not produce a file that includes the messages from the WebShared project.

I believe it would work if I converted the WebShared project into a GWT project, but then I would still have two separate properties files to send to the translation service, and I don't want to deal with combining files or managing multiple files.

What is the best way to handle this scenario using the available tools, OR do I need to create my own script?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Solved.

This actually works by default. When the GWT Compiler runs, it generates .property files for the UI Binders that are localized, even if used from a dependent project, and the mergelocales.py script runs against those property files.
