Hi all,
With https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=480176 (and the
several related issues), a mechanism to discover editors for
unassociated types is now available in SimRel. See comment #22 on
the bugzilla for a video demo.
I believe it's something very useful for our community of users who
won't have to search plugins to edit some files, and for our
community of Marketplace providers that will take advantage of this
feature to provide a better visibility for their solutions. As a
user, this change gives the impression that Eclipse IDE has support
for about everything seamlessly.
I would like EPP packages to adopt it. It's a simple preference
change. What's the procedure? Should I open 1 bug for each package
and let their maintainer decide of whether to adopt it or not?
As for the _javascript_ package, a lot of important web formats (less,
jsx, ts, tss, coffee, yaml...) currently don't have plugins from the
Simultaneous Release but have some decent contributions on
MarketPlace (and more to come). I find it important to anticipate
this and provide a better way for users to find the extension they
need rather than giving just the impression of missing support for
some file types. Hence I would really love at least this package to
adopt the discovery strategy.
Cheers,
