Hi Marshall,

Sorry, but in case we try to build an Aggregate AE including some remote
machines with the Eclipse plugin, the user gets a strong and annoying
problem:
The eclipse plugin gives an error message and lets the user to choose
between 2 (not clear) steps:
- revert to last valid: we do not know what that means and what happens to
the file.
- Edit Existing: we enter an annoying situation in which editing other tabs
becomes impossible...

I apologieze: my last post was not clear: I spoke about the Eclipse Plugin
specifically.

Benjamin

However, the CDE is designed to operate, even if the remote is not
running.  In that case, it may give some warnings -
saying that it can't read the remote's type system, so that if the
remote is declaring some types that are not declared
elsewhere, then the JCasGen that might be run might be "incomplete".

These are all "warnings" - the CDE will still let you build the
aggregate, and save it.
