I just did some research on this problem; it's due to some half-completed architectural changes introduced during Eclipse 3.0 development. If you search the Eclipse Bugzilla, you'll find this bug reported for many different editors during that time, most notably the Ant build.xml editor. The sad truth is that "Open External File...", which itself is new in Eclipse 3, uses a quite different (and more complex, and less well documented!) mechanism than the normal "Open" command does to make the connection between the file and the editor. Fixing this is unfortunately ludicrously complicated. It should and will be done eventually, but the cost/benefit is such that it probably won't be done soon. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
