Add localization support for the jte-spring-boot-starter-3

[Gadnex]

I have created a plugin for injecting an instance of gg.jte.support.LocalizationSupport into all Spring Boot ModelAndViews.

Details of my plugin can be found here:
https://github.com/Gadnex/jte-localizer-spring-boot-starter

The plugin is enabled by setting the Spring Boot application.properties value:
gg.jte.localizer.inject=true

I was hoping that the code for this plugin could be incorporated into jte-spring-boot-starter-3 and perhaps jte-spring-boot-starter-2, but not into the JTE core itself.

If there is interest in this, what can I do to help?

I was doing some more testing on my plugin and there still seems to be an issue to resolve.

It is currently always localizing to the messages in messages.properties and not to the correct locale.

I will report back if I solved the issue.

It seems the @RequestScoped @bean I created in my library only works if defined in the application itself and not the library.
I fixed the issue in version 1.0.1 and updated the documentation.

Unfortunately, the library now requires 3 @beans to be defined in code instead of the flag in application.properties.
But I guess the classes are still useful.

I had an idea overnight and i was able to fix the issue in the 1.0.0 release in a better way.
Now the plugin works like it was supposed to.

Thank you for sharing @Gadnex.

I would suggest to give the plugin some time and usage and once all rough edges have been polished I can totally see this in the starter!

@casid @Gadnex Great work, I was already thinking how to integrate it into the starter, such that it is easy to use. Using the interceptor looks good. We need to think of the reactive equivalent (I think web filters?) so it work out of box with both reactive web and webmvc. Same for the localeContextHolder, which is not available in reactive environments.

@atomfrede thanks for the feedback.
So far I have had good results with plugin.
Unfortunately I am not that great at the reactive stuff, so not sure I will have much luck developing that.
But I will have a look.

No worries I can give it a try. I guess reactive is not used that much and will maybe decrease with the rise of virtual threads.
