Description Adam Michaud CLA 2004-07-19 10:58:47 EDT 
When trying to open a .class file through the Open External File dialog, I get
the following error spewed to my Terminal window:

Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2004-07-19 11:22:57 EDT 
Cannot reproduce using R3.0. What I see is that nothing happens (see bug 58179)
i.e. no editor is opened, nothing in .log and nothing in .console.


*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58179 ***
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2005-09-22 10:24:16 EDT 
Not a duplicate since the real problem here is the Java Model not supporting the
external files.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2005-10-03 08:45:04 EDT 
*** Bug 111049 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2005-10-17 04:16:56 EDT 
There would now be a dialog but this is currently not working due to bug 112277.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2005-10-17 04:17:00 EDT

Comment 6 Lars Vogel CLA 2019-09-04 03:01:12 EDT 
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
