Re: Scripting the Eclipse IDE (was: RDi vs SEU)

That makes sense Buck.

I have no idea why IBM have never ported Rexx to RDi - or for that matter why seemingly nobody has ever come up with a similarly simple scripting tool to run in LPEX environments.

I had a look at the eclipse tool mentioned here the other day (sorry don’t recall the name) and gave up after about 30 minutes study. The tool would have to save me a hell of a lot of time to make up for the learning curve on that sucker. Heck it looked as if even installing the thing would take forever. Maybe if I was super-java-literate it wouldn’t be so bad but good grief …

I agree that being able to use Rexx in the editor is a sorely missed feature Buck - but in this case rather than resort to Code/400 wouldn’t it have been as easy to actually code the Rexx to run on the IBM i?

Maybe? I have the specific members in an RDi filter and it'd be golden
to be able to do 'godoc next' and whip through just the tabs that are
open and build up the CL that way.
