The
userMessageFile build descriptor
option specifies the generated value for the
vgj.messages.file Java™ runtime property. This property
specifies a file of messages that you create. This file is a properties
file, with name-value paired entries similar to the following examples:
- Name1=Value1
- Name2=Value2
- and so on.
The file is searched in these cases:
- When the EGL runtime responds to the invocation of the sysLib.getMessage system
function, which returns a message that you created.
- When the EGL runtime is handling a ConsoleUI application and attempts
to present help or comment text from a file identified in the consoleLib.messageResource system
variable, but that variable has no value.
- When EGL attempts to display a Java runtime
message.
The vgj.messages.file property is added
only if the value of the genProperties build
descriptor option is PROGRAM or GLOBAL.
For more information about the system variables and functions mentioned
here, see the topics "getMessage()" and "messageResource (EGL system
variable)" in the EGL Language Reference.
