XML Transformer indent doesn't work with jdk5

The below code works fine with jdk1.4, i can get nice formatted xml document.



TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
StreamResult stream = new StreamResult(os);
transformer.transform(source, stream);



However, found it doesn't work on jdk5.
I need to change to the following work around code



TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
transFactory.setAttribute("indent-number",
new Integer(2));
Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(document),
new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "utf-8")));


Building auto-translator based on google translate API (1)

I am writing an auto-translator plug-in. which will do the i18n for eclipse plugins and application automatically. After evaluate several online translating engine, i think google translate is more accurate. Although google does no provide an official API for their translate yet.

Here is the translation mode definition class. It lists all translation directions supported by google so far.


public final class TranslateMode {
public static final TranslateMode ARABIC2ENGLISH= new TranslateMode("ar|en");
public static final TranslateMode CHINESE2ENGLISH = new TranslateMode("zh|en");
public static final TranslateMode CHINESECN2CHINESETW = new TranslateMode("zh-CN|zh-TW");
public static final TranslateMode CHINESETW2CHINESECN = new TranslateMode("zh-TW|zh-CN");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2ARABIC = new TranslateMode("en|ar");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2CHINESECN = new TranslateMode("en|zh-CN");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2CHINESETW = new TranslateMode("en|zh-TW");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLSISH2FRENCH = new TranslateMode("en|fr");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2GERMAN= new TranslateMode("en|de");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2ITALIAN= new TranslateMode("en|it");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2JAPANESE= new TranslateMode("en|ja");
public static final TranslateMode ENGLISH2KOREAN= new TranslateMode("en|ko");
