Localizing enum values in resource bundle

Question

I have a problem with i18n enums in my JSF application. When I started, I had enums with the text defined inside. But now, I have keys tied to message bundles in the enum.

Answer 1

In case anyone is looking for a simple utility library to handle enum internationalization, please take a look at https://github.com/thiagowolff/litefaces-enum-i18n

The artifact is also available in Maven Central:

    br.com.litecode
    litefaces-enum-i18n
    1.0.1

Basically, you just need to add the artifact to your project and define the enum respective keys following the described enum naming conventions. The translations (and also CSS class names) can be retrieved using the provided EL functions.
