Subject: [WDSCI-L] New Free Plugin - iSeries Editing Perspective !! (was
change icon on perspective)


OK, I have created a new free plugin which adds an "iSeries Editing" 
perspective to WDSC.  First of all, this perspective has a unique icon so 
it stands out better.  You can always replace the gif I ship with the 
plugin with your own.

This perspective is one that I always setup manually and really makes 
editing source easier.  The editors area takes up the entire screen, but 
the editors themselves can still be tiled to show multiple at the same 
time.  Some of the common views you need are pre-defined as Fast Views 
which allow you to slide them in and out as needed. 

The best way to use this perspective is to use RSE as you normally would, 
but after you get some source open for edit, switch to this perspective 
while you are editing, then switch back to RSE.  This should happen 
virtually instantly.  You could use this for editing Java or HTML as well, 
but you may need to open and convert to fast views any extra views you 
like to use with those languages.  Generally, the outline view is the most 
useful and it is already there.

The very first time you open this perspective you might get an error. I 
did.  There was nothing in the log and everything I said to do it did.  I 
suspect this might be a problem just for me because I have previously 
created a perspective with the same name.  Anyway, once it is open, you 
never get the error again.

Presumably anyone reading this already uses our free spooled file and 
messages plugins.  Assuming that is the case, to install this plugin just 
switch to the Install/Update Perspective.   Expand "Sites to Visit" under 
the "Feature Updates" view in the lower left corner of the screen.  Then 
expand "SoftLanding.com Discovery Site" and Free Plugins.  You should then 
see one named "iSeries Editing Perspective" version 1.0  Just click it and 
choose the Install option.

Thanks

Mark
