Re: Eclipse compile not generating i18n properties file

Has anyone solved this?  It's not working for me either.  Here's my class:

package dparish.client.view.impl;

import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Messages;

import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.LocalizableResource.Generate;

import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.LocalizableResource.GenerateKeys;

@Generate(format="com.google.gwt.i18n.server.PropertyCatalogFactory") @GenerateKeys

public interface StudentMessages extends Messages {

public String saveError();

@DefaultMessage("There are {0} students")

@AlternateMessage({"one", "There is one student"})

public String studentCount(@PluralCount int studentCount);

}

No files are created during the GWT compile.  I suspect the problem relates to this note in the docs:

Requests that a message catalog file is generated during the compilation process. If the filename is not supplied, a default name based on the interface name is used. The output file is created under the -out directory.  

There is no -out for the GWT compiler. There IS for i18nCreator, but that command is listed for creating .java files from property files, not the other way around as @Generate seems to claim it will do.

Any insight on this? The GWT compile phase says it's generating a
properties file, but there's none to be found....
