Scalocal compiles message formats into typed resource bundles.

Here's what it does :

• it scans an input directory for properties files
• it groups properties files by base name of their corresponding bundle (i.e. 'foo/bar/Test_en.properties' and 'foo.bar.Test.properties' have the same base name 'foo.bar.Test')
• for each base name :
  • it tries to find the reference properties file (the non-localized one, for instance 'Test.properties')
  • it looks at all the keys defined in all the properties files for this base name and gathers format meta-data (argument types)
  • it warns against inconsistencies of the same keys between different properties files
  • it warns against missing keys in the other files (using the keys from the reference file if there is one, or all the keys defined in all the files)
  • it warns against unknown keys if a reference file was found
  • it creates a Scala object with one val per immutable message format, and one typed method per mutable message format (with the correct argument types, based on the format)

Syntax : sbt 'run resourcesRootDirectory outputDirectory'

For example : sbt 'run examples examples'

Or in a typical project : sbt 'run path/to/someProject/src/main/resources path/to/someProject/src/main/scala'
