Re: MyEclipse Feature Request

i haven't delved too far into the 3.4 release but i don't think that support for URI for editing stuff is much developed yet. for just viewing (getting) stuff it is probably easy to implement but saving is not so easy.

and i still don't see how this URI stuff is gonna help. you still have to get the data somehow and you still have to save it somehow. and using what protocol?

i think putting a resource on the i5 into an URI format is not the problem. but how to go further?

that reminds me to look into the new stuff more frequently. thanx for the info.

The fact that Eclipse works mainly with __files__ in the workspace makes it really hard to have something like an editor for remote files and which makes it even more complicated is the fact that the source for rpg and cl etc. is not saved as files (but in the db as you know). So you will probably not find any editor which suits your needs good enough to get started. You have to start with something like an AbstractTextEditor and put in your functionality. Eclipse works with rules for syntax highlighting but the rules are coded in java and not in any config files (afaik). And even that is not as easy for fixed format source.

As far as I have understood, the Eclipse notion of "everything is a
file" has changed to "everything is an URI" (read URL) in 3.4. In other
words, this should by now be easier to deal with.

The IFS syntax for a source member would work fine for a file name which
could then be extended with hostname etc to be a real url.
