Application names localizations are defined in the CommonUiLabels framework file

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
still on framework-application independence:
Actually there is a weak dependence of the framework from ALL application
because the application name localization for the application menu is
defined in CommonUiLabels.xml file.
Every application the user want to add and localize its name needs a new
entry in this file.
How could we have the application menu use the application specific labels
file to get the localitazion?

Any idea?
Thank you,
Bruno

The injectable menu we are speaking about could be the solution.
A simple main menu could be defined in the framework with only the Webtools
and Example menu entry.
Every application could inject its own application menu.

An application could also inject menu entries in several different menus so
that for example all application's administrations could be placed in one
unique high level "admin" menu entry.

We've talked about this a number of times around the office, not only for the application menu but many menus throughout the site. This could allow a party/content binding component to inject menu entries into otherwise stand-alone party and content applications. Sorry if this is a repetition of ideas that have already been discussed.

I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3807 for this
topic.
Has anybody an idea (or better more than an idea ;-) ) on how to implement
this?
