Thanks for the reply. It definitely has startup lag 😊 For my use case I'm trying to give dev users an option to open local files in their favorite editor and without ability to pass a file name, RDI isn't an option. David, didn't you used to do some Eclipse plugin writing ? I wonder if there's something that could be done with a plugin. Honestly it's not a big deal, but someone was asking about using RDI with my Work with IBMi utility. Closest I came weas telling them to create a shortcut to the work file directory for actual editing of local files.

Keep in mind that RDi uses Eclipse as it's framework, and it's a very heavy framework. There are ways to open a file when launching eclipse (see https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fproduct_open_file.htm), but I don't think that works well when eclipse is being used as an IDE, as it has a workspace associated with it. Even if it were possible, launching eclipse and all it's plugin's is going to take quite a while just to edit a file. david -- This is the Rational Developer for IBM i (WDSCI-L) mailing list To post a message email: [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/wdsci-l or email: [email protected] Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at https://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l.
