title: Gwt i18n > generating properties files
body: <p>I'm using GWT in my stuff, and I would like to make it,
  international, so I use GWT constants method.</p>
  
  <p>I have a java file with defaults, and I now need to make properties files.</p>
  
  <p>In a remember, there is a special thing to do (or done automagically) to generate 
  a kind of template where all constants are generated with empty labels for other langages.</p>
  
  <p>Did I dream this ? </p>
  
  <p>(using eclipse indigo to develop webapp with gwt but not gae)</p>
  
  <p>[edit:]</p>
  
  <p>this was not a dream, it's i18ncreator:</p>

  <p>but I can't make it working on windows :-(</p>

  <p>recommended solution is use i18ncreator in gwt 1.7  (!)</p>
