Description Boris Bokowski CLA 2010-01-27 12:43:23 EST 
This is a parent bug for the remaining work on bug 4922. I figured it'd be better to use a new bug so as not to spam the hundreds of people on 4922's cc list.

This one should be fixed for M5:

Bug 300899 Endless OpenDoc events

The following ones are not as important and can wait until M6:

Bug 300912 Launcher fails on Solaris Sparc and Solaris x86
Bug 300532 resolve relative paths for file open
Bug 301033 --launcher.openFile does not work with "Open With..." on Windows

> Bug 300912 Launcher fails on Solaris Sparc and Solaris x86

This bug is marked as fixed, but we only rolled back the change - file launching support for Solaris still needs to be implemented (or the implementation fixed).
Comment 3 Boris Bokowski CLA 2010-01-27 13:20:07 EST 
Two more from Oleg's list on bug 4922, probably not for 3.6:

Bug 300553 "--launcher.openFile" can pick up "old" versions of Eclipse 
Bug 300555 Allow plugin developers to register file extensions
Comment 4 Oleg Besedin CLA 2010-02-09 10:02:46 EST 
The only open items left are:
 - bug 302192 (add --launcher.defaultAction to eclipse.ini)
 - bug 300555 (allow plugin developers to register file extensions)

Personally, I'd like to see the enhancement in the bug 300555 implemented. However, we don't have resources to do it at this time. The story would have to be that external installers (probably OS-specific) are used to perform file registrations. If anybody is interested in contributing pieces to bug 300555, I'll be happy to provide assistance in massaging the code and getting it into Eclipse.

From Platform/UI side, all pieces needed to open files from the command line are done.

Congratulations and thank you!

Intellisense (type-ahead) doesn't work.
