The Brief Demo shows most features of Meta Facility, including:
- Java Package/Class Association
- The main design goal of the Brief Demo is to show localized name & description for a selected Java Package or Class, if such localization present. These localized information is in XML files organized with the same directory structure of Java .class files (a.k.a MetaBundles), as resources on the java classpath. Meta Facility organizes MetaBundles in a simular hierarchy of Java Packages so that MetaBundles can be seamlessly associated with Java Packages and Classes.
- Structured Metadata, XPath Access
- Using XPath to fetch a list of Locale sensitive tip text from a named set of XML files (the concept of MetaBundle as with Meta Facility).
The notice text at bottom is also fetched this way but a little simpler, since it fetches a single piece of localizable text instead of a list of them.- Hot Reloading
- You can modify those XML files and notify Meta Facility to reload the metadata by pressing a button, then the Demo App Window will redraw immediately and reflect your modifications.
