Build Identifier: I20100309-0809-linux-gtk-x86_64

Now that bug #4922, this should be fairly straight-forward (just add some entries in the registry for Windows and in gconf for Linux).

The idea is to provide a protocol to open files in Eclipse from a web page, for example:
eclipse://c:/workspace/project/MyClass.java#50
  => would open the corresponding file in Eclipse.

This would be very useful for all web frameworks: in dev mode, frameworks could provide these kinds of links in the error pages. That way, when a runtime exception appears the developer can just click on the link from the error 500 page and get to the correct place in Eclipse.


Reproducible: Always
