The Form Builder and Validation Builder are Eclipse builders that perform various post-processing operations on a form model when the project is built. Generally speaking, the Eclipse auto-build feature will be enabled, which causes an incremental build to run automatically whenever a file is saved. When you create a new Business Studio Analysis project that includes forms functionality, the New Project Wizard configures the project with the Form Builder and Validation Builder.
Consult the Eclipse documentation for further information on the Eclipse build system.The Validation Builder also performs live validation, which occurs automatically whenever any aspect of the form is modified through the Form Designer canvas, Outline View, or Property View. Form validations can be configured via the Preferences dialog at Window > Preferences > Form Designer > Errors/Warnings.For each of the validation rules enforced by the Validation Builder, you can use the dropdown list to configure instances of the condition to be marked as Error, Warning, Info, or Ignore.Figure 44 Preferences Dialog for Errors/Warnings
1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click a TIBCO Forms project to display the Context Menu and click Properties.
2. Click Builders in the left-hand panel.Figure 45 Properties for Forms Tutorial SolutionThe Form Builder externalizes display strings from the form model into property resource files with the path name /<project>/<form-folder>/<form-name>.properties, where<project> is the project name,<form-folder> is the folder containing the form file, and<form-name> is the unqualified name of the form file, minus the .form file extension.
To create a localized version of a form, you will make a copy of this .properties file, rename it by appending the appropriate standard two-character ISO language code (and, optionally, country and variant codes), and translate the strings into the desired language.
• Reports any such problems as problem markers, which show up in the Problems View. To make it easier to locate problems, the problem markers for errors also appear as decorator icons adjacent to the offending form element in the Project Explorer, the Outline View, and in the Form Designer. For more information about problem markers, see Problem Markers.
