I have a situation where our final deployment destination is an AS/400
system and we are not satisfied with using the \\as400\where\ever mechanism.
IBM has a Java toolkit which could be used to create a Eclipse
Filesystem Plugin if Eclipse could be persuaded to use it in e.g. the
Navigator view or even better in the Java Project view. We don't need
full IDE capability, I just want to either drag-drop to there or to use
it as the target of an "Export jar" command.
I have tried browsing around the documentation but I cannot find
anything that says that the EFS is available in the IDE - only to plugin
writers. Perhaps I do not know the correct terms, but I would
appreciate learning of them.
Another approach that might be usable to us for now, would be to extend
the Export Jar mechanism to allow the jar to go to any EFS resource.
