RE: [cdt-dev] Be able to open any file to view it in eclipse using dragand drop

Amit,
 
you can use File > Open File.
Drag and drop of an external file into the editor area is currently not supported by Eclipse, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13221 for reference.
 
In CDT 4.0 there will be support to drag an external file on the C/C++ editor to open it (unless the above is fixed by the Eclipse platform).
 
Regards,
Toni

Subject: [cdt-dev] Be able to open any file to view it in eclipse using dragand drop

I am using Eclipse SDK 3.2.1 with C/C++ CDT 3.1.1.
 
If I want to view any text file in eclipse I have to add it to the project-workspace. What if I just want to be able to open the files to view them?
Is there a way where I can drag and drop any files into the eclipse editor and be able to open them to view them.
 
 
Regards,
 
Amit.
