[news.eclipse.newcomer] OS X External Editors

[Todd Ogin <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I am trying to get External Editors to work with OS X.

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg33393.html

This post from 2004 explains that External Editors don't use the Launch 
interface, and as such can't figure out what to do with the .app files 
for various Editors you might supply.  The author explains that you can 
potentially point to the actual executed file inside of the .app 
package.  I'd love to do this, but when I bring up the browser to create 
a new External Editor, it uses the OS X File Browser.  Of course, the OS 
X File Browser doesn't let me look inside of .app packages since it just 
regards them as files.

I imagine either there is some hack I don't know about to get the OS X 
File Browser to let me peek into the .app, or I'll be hand editing some 
configuration file.  I've searched the help interfaces on eclipse.org 
and have not stumbled upon any obvious answer for where/how I can define 
an External Editor without using Eclipse GUI preferences.  A pointer to 
documentation about how to do so would be helpful.

Cheers
