Extract Strings from Java Classes

Question

I want to extract all Strings (texts, written in " ") in hundreds of java classes, to get them to a translator for a multilanguage platform translation.

Does somebody have an idea how I could do this? Any special free program or method?

Answer 1

Eclipse has an "Externalize Strings" feature that creates a properties file of all of the strings within a class or classes. Other IDEs may have a similar feature.
