Change subject: engine: refactor: add Model attribute for help tagging
......................................................................


Patch Set 10:

> as each constant is used one time only.

define "used"; in your (original) method, the constant is *written* at least 
two times: in the code, and in the properties file. see the example in my 
previous comment. 

> introducing it, forces people to touch two files each modification

in your (original) method as well: the code, and the .properties file. 

> I still suggest to use plain setHelpTag("id"[, "description"]) at actual 
> code, dropping this common file entirely.

if you are referring to going back to code-scanning (i.e. treating the .java 
files as text files and scan for the entire information there) - we prefer to 
avoid that, since it requires people to write this particular piece of code in 
a very specific way (e.g. no variables, etc.), sometimes a way that is even 
considered "bad java", tomorrow it might contradict 
check-style/find-bugs/whatever issues - so this may be hard to track/enforce. 

The method introduced in this patch is simple, clean, and the least error-prone 
that I can think of. People are already used to updating such Constants .java 
files in the GUI code anyway due to our localization support, for example - so 
I don't think that with the currently-implemented approach there is a major 
over-"load"/complexity on the patch author here.
