New issue 43 by bergerfx: allow general options
http://code.google.com/p/gettext-commons/issues/detail?id=43
I’ve been using the maven plugin for some time and found it quite
useful. The point is that now I would need to pass a couple of
parameters to the xgettext application that are not included in the
configuration parameters, so I wonder if you’re thinking on adding any
way of doing that.
I modified the source code to fit my current needs but I find that
adding one more parameter that allows to pass more options to the GNU
applications would be a nice feature.
Something like the following would be great
<plugin>
<groupId>org.xnap.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-gettext-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>distribute-properties-files</id>
<configuration>
<poDirectory>src/main/po</poDirectory>
<targetBundle>com.kinamik.vault.Messages</
targetBundle>
<outputFormat>properties</outputFormat>
<options>--no-location –add-comments=///</options>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>dist</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

That's already possible with the <keywords> configurations, I do this as
following for my webapp with Freemarker templating:
<properties>
<!-- Gettext -->
<gettext.sourceLocale>en</gettext.sourceLocale>
<gettext.keysFile>messages.pot</gettext.keysFile>
<!--
Add the keywords:
_ = 1st param is singular form
_p = plural, 1st param is singular, 2nd param is plural form
_noop = 1st param is singular form, this one is a special-case
@see
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Special-cases
Set extra options to the xgettext command (without the backslashes!):
\-\-no-location = do not write '#: filename:line' lines in PO files
\-\-add-comments[=TAG] = place comment block with TAG (or those preceding
keyword lines) in PO file
-->
<gettext.keywords>-k_ -k_p:1,2 -k_noop --no-location
--add-comments=///</gettext.keywords>
<gettext.poDirectory>${project.build.resourceDirectory}/locale</gettext.poDirectory>
</properties>

Awesome, this is helping me tremendously.
Would you be so kind to show some examples in your freemarker templates,
ideally including a case with plural text? Much appreciated!
