Support for NLS.bind

[ralf.ebert]

When writing code using NLS.bind to replace placeholders like "It's {0} now\!" in message values, like:

String date = String.valueOf(new Date());
Button button1 = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
button1.setText(NLS.bind(Messages.Date, date));

Window Builder interprets this and offers to edit the bound/formatted String like "It's Thu Dec 02 14:42:18 CET 2010 now!" in Design mode. The i18n documentation chapter says nothing about this, is there some support for format strings/property placeholders?

WindowBuilder does not support that pattern, so you would need to edit that code by hand.
