Description Rob Hounsell CLA 2003-03-13 16:39:26 EST 
Problem description:
On HP-UX 11.00, selecting "system editor" from the "open with" context menu of 
a file produces a "Problems Opening Editor" error dialog saying "unable to open 
external editor for <filename>". This works fine on HP-UX 11.11. I am abled to 
open the system editor using the visual environment (CUE) on both versions of 
OS.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Java project.
2. Left click on the ".project" file in the new project tree in the navigator 
view.
3. Right click in the navigator view and select "open with", and then 
choose "system editor". An error dialog appears.

Found in:
OS: HP-UX 11.00.   Eclipse: V2.1 Build Id: 200303071024 (RC2)

Comments: It may be something different in the environment of the two servers, 
but I have no idea what it might be.

GG to debug this with Chrix.

The hpux behaviour is not a problem.  The "error dialog" is shown in the given 
scenario because there isn't a registered editor for files with 
extension ".project"; win32 has similar behaviour for unregistered extensions.  
Opening the hpux system editor for a .txt file, for instance, works fine.

Solaris does have a problem, however, in that it's not getting its list of 
system editors, so it can't even externally open, for example, a .txt file.  
Moving to Chrix since it's an issue with Solaris thinking it's running with a 
Gnome desktop, which is wrong.  Still happens in 3.0.

Adding Grant to the CC list.

This is really ancient bug and at that time swt was using gvfs. Now it uses gio. Closing the bug but please reopen if you can still reproduce on supported version.
