Description John Arthorne

2006-08-16 14:13:31 EDT

We should ensure that use of the Eclipse File System is pervasive in the platform, and remove any barriers that prevent it from being more widely adopted by the community. For example, we should provide IFileStoreEditorInput and a matching default implementation. [Workspace, UI, Platform Text]

The IFileStoreEditorInput portion of this plan item is covered by bug 111887.

Comment 2 John Arthorne

Note that end in the end, IFileStoreEditorInput turned out to be called IURIEditorInput, with concrete implementation FileStoreEditorInput.

- Numerous bug fixes in filesystem, resources, UI, IDE, and Text to support working with non-local EFS implementations
