[news.eclipse.tools] Re: How to disable the rightclick menu on FileResou

["Simon Arsenault" <simon_arsenault@xxxxxxx>]

The message is informing you that on this machine, there is no external
editor registered for the file type. However, it could very well be another
machine would have one. So if we allowed the external editor menu option to
be disabled, it would prevent users from accessing the external editor on
machines where one exist for the file type.

Choosing "Open With > External Editor" allows the user to open the same
editor as would be opened if they went to the file system and double clicked
on the file.

Was there a problem with the message being displayed? (i.e. are users
complaining about it...if so, about what?) Or did choosing this menu option
cause other problems beside the message being displayed?
