RE: File Associations

If I remember correctly, the edit options for iSeries members are basically
hard-coded to our tools which we know handle the sequence numbers.  Also,
the 'default' is the LPEX Editor.  Local/IFS/other system types in RSE do
use the Eclipse preferences (RSE still handles the download/upload).

It is probably hard-coded in the RSE plugin.  My point was that it makes
sense that it cannot necessarily just use the Eclipse file associations.
For example, if I have the Eclipse C editor defined to edit C, that is all
well and good except that editor is not capable of downloading the source
nor can it handle the 12-digits of sequence and date that RSE brings down
with the source.  So I would expect RSE to be intelligent enough to use
JLpex when I am using RSE, and Eclipse to be intelligent enough to use its
C editor on local projects that are not iSeries.

It would be "nice" if RSE had its own preferences that let you set the
default based on source type, but it appears that it does not.
