I have actually downloaded Eclipse. I am reading the manuals. I am not a Java expert, but I'm considering looking at the possibility of writing HLASM plug-in, if I can figure how to do it. This is likely a very long term project for me, assuming that (1) I have the talent; (2) I don't get frustrated and give up.
What I'd really love do to, in addition to a simple HLASM plugin is also have the plugin be able to communicate with a z/OS started task which can do the equivalent of (1) listing files similar to FileZilla; (2) download a source file to the PC for editing when the users "opens" it (or download directly into the editor without a actual PC file); (3) upload the changed source to the same z/OS dsn or member when the editor does a "save" or "exit with save" operation; (4) protect the dsn/member using the standard SPFEDIT enqueue when the source is opened, releasing the enqueue when the edit is ended (or another member opened in the same edit session).
