問題

When editing the .properties file of a plugin to customize text as described in How to edit bundled or system plugins, the customized text does not display.

Steps to reproduce are:

1. Confluence を停止します。

2. Edit the text in the .properties file within a plugin's .jar file as described in How to edit files in Confluence JAR files

3. Clear the Plugin Cache

4. Clear Browser's cache 

5. Confluence を再起動します。

The changes made to the text in the .properties file will not be displayed as expected, default text will be shown. 

原因

The cause of this issue in Confluence version 6.10 and above is unknown at this time.

See the following Bugtracker which will track this issue moving forward:  CONFSERVER-58420 - Getting issue details... STATUS  

回避策

This issue can be circumvented by creating a new key in the .properties file and then changing references elsewhere in the plugin to use this key instead of the default key. 

1. Confluence を停止します。

2. Make a backup copy of the original .jar file

3. Expand the contents of the .jar file

4. Locate the text value you wish to change in the .properties file, notate the name of this key

5. Create a new key with a similar name, adding a ".custom" to the key's name and customize the text

6. Search the contents of the files expanded from the .jar for the original key's name

7. Replace each reference found to the new key name in each of these files, save
8. Recompress the .jar file together with these edited files
9. Copy the customized .jar file back to its original location, overwriting the original

10. Clear the Plugin Cache

11. Clear Browser's cache 

12. Confluence を再起動します。

 Alternatively, you can edit the .soy files directly after expanding the .jar file, then recompress the .jar file when done.
