Description Chris Perrin CLA 2003-06-10 12:01:29 EDT 
My current environment has two projects, both of which are located in 
C:/eclipse/workspaces.  However, I have an XML file that I need to open in 
Eclipse so I can use the XMen XML Editor plug in.  The problem is that there is 
no way for me to just open a file in the C:\ drive for viewing that I can see.  
I can import the file, but it moves the file from C:\ to the project root 
(C:\eclipse\workspaces\...)

I would very much like a way to be able to have an Open File button or menu 
selection which will open a file in Eclipse like Word or like Vis Studio.NET.

If this function exists and I just don't see it, then please tell me where it 
is.  Thanks.
