Re: lexEdit

The free and open source Eclipse based RPG source editor you are thinking of is named RPGNextGen and can be found at www.rpgnextgen.com. It is in the beginning stages of development and thus has "just enough" features to be effective (though I am quite impressed with what has been accomplished so far by one individual). I use it because it keeps me on my Linux desktop, though there are some features in WDSC I still go back for (i.e. mass searches, SEP debugging). Note my involvement has strictly been on the front of offering new feature requests, doing tests of new versions, and pouring through the code in my spare time to see how the guts work. Mihael Schmidt is the mastermind behind that initiative.

I have an article coming out with Systeminetwork.com about it in the next couple months. I hope to bolster some adoption of the tool so we can give IBM a little friendly competition (and maybe convince them to give out one free copy of RDi per compiler purchase :-).

Back to my hole with me...

No need to use CODE Buck - you can continue to use WDSC - it just won't be updated for 6.1 syntax.

Also I thought Aaron and others were working on an Eclipse based open source alternative - but I confess I can't recall anything more about it.
