Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:33:01 EDT 
Registering an external editor in a plug-in manifest file needs to allow the developer to
specify where the selected file resource goes in the command using something like %f. 
It can't always go at the end.

Modified java files to fix the bug

The two files in the zip file are modified class files that I believe resolve
this bug.  I have not submitted a bug fix before, so if this is in the wrong
format please let me know.  To apply the fix, Replace the files of the same
name with these, as found in org.eclipse.ui package.

Thanks for the patch Jeff.  Eduardo, could you please review it?
Comment 6 Eduardo Pereira CLA 2002-12-05 16:49:43 EST 
Jeff is your fix based on 2.1 stream. The class ShellCommand does not exist 
anymore so I am getting some compilation errors.
Comment 7 Jeff Woldan CLA 2002-12-16 21:38:36 EST 
I'll try to submit fix of the version problem asap, sorry for the delay. i have 
been busy.

java files for version 2.1

I had modified code from an older version (2.0.1) of Eclipse for my last
attempt at a fix.  I modified the fix for 2.1 in this new patch.
Comment 9 Eduardo Pereira CLA 2003-01-06 11:49:38 EST 
Jeff, what should happen in other platforms? Do they use %f as well?
Comment 10 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-02-19 11:12:24 EST 
There are no plans for the UI team to work on this defect until higher 
priority items are addressed.
