[Adium-devl] [19622] comment: AIAccountViewController: AILocalizedString() vs AILocalizedStringFromTableInBundle()

[Evan Schoenberg]

David, cc'ing the list since this might come up again,

You'd think it should be AILocalizedString(), and it used to be...  
and I couldn't figure out why the localizations weren't working.  It  
uses the class's bundle, so it should work!  [self class] to be  
specific....

...so what happens when AIJabberAccountViewController in the  
Purple.AdiumPlugin bundle subclasses AIAccountViewController from the  
Adium.Framework bundle?  [self class] then refers to  
AIJabberAccountViewController, so its bundle is Purple.AdiumPlugin,  
and the strings don't get used properly.

So, generally speaking, if a class is potentially going to be  
subclassed outside its bundle and still will be utilizing resources  
from its bundle, hard-coding the class is necessary.

Cheers,
Evan
