Empty properties - keys are removed

[a8cjones]

I've been using eclipse-rbe recently for the first time - Eclipse Oxygen. I like it a lot, however, I have one major issue:-

I noticed that if a property is empty for a language, then it's key is removed, resulting in a different number of property keys between the locales. This caused me quite a lot of grief because I couldn't find a way to keep an empty property other than by keying a character into the value and then doing a scan/replace externally.

If I use the regular Eclipse property editor, I can have empty keys without a problem, and in my case there was a legitimate reason for doing so.

Have you tried the setting the option Keep properties with empty values. in the preferences of the ResourceBundle Editor?
