Hi Christoph, (und Hallo auch nochmal auf Deutsch),
I have started to implement support for German installations. We already
did some work in NPanday 1.2 supporting "Dokumente und Einstellungen"
instead of "Users" :) (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-222)
The simple way would certainly be to "or" all the language names, but it
would not be the clean way to do it. I think we have two options.
1) Easy, but still clean: Use .NET Localization for customized
Menu-item names
2) Better, but quite hard: Move from "Addin" to "Integration package",
which will enable language-agnostic communication with Visual Studio via
cmd-ids.

More on option 1)
Last spring I started to fix the issues for 1.2, but I didn't manage to
finish them. The code is still on github.
We/You :-) had to do two things:
a) Enable support for sattelite assemblies
- Generate a list of all cultures into npanday-settings.xml
(npanday.plugin:NPanday.Plugin.Settings.JavaBinding:generate-settings)
- Do not link *.[culturecode].resources into the main assembly
(npanday.plugin:maven-compile-plugin:compile)
- Create a satelite assembly for each of the culture-codes and attach
it to the artifact
(npanday.plugin:maven-compile-plugin:compile-satelite-assemblies)
b) Refactor the addin to use Resources instead of fixed strings. It
would also be good, to move to command pattern for the commands. I
started the work here. Some time ago I rebased it to the current code
base - but I didn't test it.

hello!
im experimenting with npanday 1.3-incubating and ran into a few
problems:
* the visual studio add-in starts succesfully, yet there are no
npanday entries
in the solution/project context menu
(add-in installed with installer)
* when i try to create a project from command line, maven doesnt
seem
to find
the archetype
as it fails complaining that there is no pom.xml in the
directory
(the
repository is in my .m2 though)
my configuration
maven 3
visual studio 2010 (german)
thanks for taking the time in testing out 1.3 Chris. Unfortunately
at the
moment NPanday only supports Visual Studios English Version, there
are already
issues created for German support as well as Italian and Spanish. We
do not have
enough contributors that know the language. We would gladly accept
patches for
this so that NPanday can work on other languages as well.
thanks for your help!
i thought it would be something like that, did not find any issues
though.
what would i have to do to add german language support myself?
You would need to build the source code and in
\dotnet\assemblies\NPanday.VisualStudio.Addin\Connect.cs you need to modify
launchNPandayBuildSystem function there is a loop that checks for the specific
Control Caption in the running VS
i.e. if (control.Caption.Equals("C&onfiguration Manager..."))
you can include the german equivalent for this.
for the creating of the project what command did you use?
i used
mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-dotnet-simple
-DarchetypeGroupId=npanday
-DarchetypeVersion=1.3-incubating
as stated in "Creating a simple project". i dont see anything wrong
with it.
also tested it on my linux machine by now and it worked like a
charm...
the machine where it doesnt work runs windows xp by the way.
also i never used maven on windows before, so it could be that im
overlooking
something.
NPanday was originally developed under the windows XP OS, so it should work
fine.
You can check out the docs here
