How to localize enum values in GWT client code?

Question

I am using an enumeration class in my GWT client\'s code to define a set of types.

public enum MyType {

    FIRST_TYPE(\"first\"), SECOND_TYPE(\"second\"), THIR         


        

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem by using GWT's ConstantsWithLookup interface. Here is the solution:

MyType.java

public enum MyType {

    FIRST_TYPE, SECOND_TYPE, THIRD_TYPE;

    private final MyConstantsWithLookup constants = GWT.create(MyConstantsWithLookup.class)

    public String getTitle() {
        return this.constants.getString(this.name());
    }
}

MyConstantsWithLookup.java

public interface MyConstantsWithLookup extends ConstantsWithLookup {

    String FIRST_TYPE();

    String SECOND_TYPE();

    String THIRD_TYPE();
}

MyConstantsWithLookup.properties

FIRST_TYPE = first
SECOND_TYPE = second
THIRD_TYPE = third
