I couldn't agree more. Well put.
Whenever I need to do some serious text editing -- grep find-and-replace, sorting, etc. -- I copy the text from Eclipse, command-tab to BBEdit, create a new document from clipboard, and enjoy the sweet BBEdit goodness. A quick copy and paste brings me back to Eclipse.
You can right-click on a file in Eclipse's JDT Package Explorer (or any other view that shows files) and select Open With -> System Editor and it will open in BBEdit. (I can't remember if I had to do something to tell Eclipse that BBEdit is my "System Editor". Perhaps it asked me the first time I did this.) From then on, when double-clicking on that file it will open in BBEdit (until you right-click and selection Open With -> Java Editor). After making changes and saving in BBEdit, Eclipse will detect that the file has been changed and ask if you want to load the changes. -- Daryl Spitzer -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
