Description Martin Swiezawski

Steps to reproduce:
Select and .java file in package explorer and select Open With->In-place editor
This action generates "OLE error opening" message, which does not help the user and a blank editor is opened. 

The error appears to be caused by the fact that there is no ActiveX document application registered for .java extension. Would like a more meaningful message informing the user as to the cause of the failure.

Nice try Tod. Please remember that Platform UI owns all the inplace/OLE editors ;-)

Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area.
