Description Albert Tam CLA 2003-04-16 17:27:08 EDT 
I'd like to be able to use Eclipse as a general editor in addition to a Java 
IDE.  Suppose I have a bunch of files I've selected from a Windows explorer; 
I'd like to be able to drag-and-drop those files to Eclipse and edit/view them 
there.  Right now I have to use TextPad or NotePad.  This type of functionality 
was available in Visual Cafe and I found it incredibly handy; just wondering if 
we can have the same feature in Eclipse.

You can now open and edit external files. Drag and drop is not yet implementd.
