Description David Whiteman CLA 2007-08-07 16:38:55 EDT 
1. From Eclipse, select File > Open File...
2. Select an SML-IF file from the file system

Observe that the file is opened in the general text editor, instead of the SML-IF editor.

It would seem to be a natural thing to do to open the file this way in the editor rather than having to import it to the workspace to do so.

setting to P2, not because the editor is of high importance, or that there isn't a workaround, but because this is one of those "bad first impression" issues
Comment 2 David Whiteman CLA 2008-04-10 09:36:48 EDT 
This really needs to be taken care of in i11.  The docs already describe how you can open the SML-IF editor using File > Open... on a file system file.
Comment 3 David Whiteman CLA 2008-05-07 14:37:56 EDT 
The Eclipse problem uncovered by this bug should be resolved in Eclipse 3.4 RC1 build.
Comment 4 David Whiteman CLA 2008-05-29 18:58:43 EDT 
I have tested that the Eclipse change in RC1 has made this possible.  I had to add an extra case to the SMLIFEditor.init() method to handle a new type of IEditorInput, since it is now provided in the form of a URI.
