Description Andre Weinand CLA 2001-10-10 21:34:47 EDT 
Opening repository resource always open the default text editor and doesn't
	honor any mapping between resource types and editors.
	As a result it is not possible to view the contents of an image (*.gif file) in a sensible way.

NOTES:
EG (5/24/2001 5:13:45 AM)
	Agreed that this is needed eventually but not critical for June. 	
	There should also be a Java outliner when editing a java resource from the repository.
	Moving to VCM.

KM (5/24/01 2:09:21 PM)
	In general you cannot open a specialized editor on a remote resource because they can sometimes
	be dependent on other resources and expect these to be local.  For example, an HTML page which
	references a graphic, the HTML editor is going to try to look for the graphic to display it.

	You can't be sure that the editor was written to accomodate remote or 'missing' resources.
	We discussed this some time ago with Dave T. and felt it was safer to just use vanilla editors for now.

Please ignore the attachments, I attached to the wrong PR!  I have no idea how 
that happened!

While I'm modifying this PR, I added a dependency Bug.

Fixed.
Comment 8 Jeff Brown CLA 2002-04-09 18:45:57 EDT 
Tries to open the registered editor, otherwise falls back to
vanilla editor.  The Java Editor seems to have trouble with
this particular usage (generated NPEs) and I suspect others
might too.

As a workaround for these unforeseen cases, we should offer
the option of forcing the use of the vanilla editor.
ie. Just like in the Navigator, the user should have the option
to choose the editor to be used.

Recommend we reopen.
Comment 9 Jeff Brown CLA 2002-04-10 15:21:54 EDT
