Re: [WDSCI-L] Default Editor by File Type

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The defaults you set are honored by the iSeries project perspective but not 
by the RSE perspective. Seems that RSE uses a different mechanism, 
hard-coded (?), to determine the editors to list. Too bad it does not use 
the other settings already there.

Someone from the IBM team please correct me if needed.
