Hi,
I've searched for an answer to this question, but came up empty. I apologize
if it's already been answered somewhere else.
Whenever I double-click an item in the problem window and sometimes when I
select an error or warning icon from the editor, Eclipse tries to open the
respective file using an external editor. I don't want this to happen, but
I'm clueless as to how I can prohibit this behavior. It may not be relevant,
but this is within a java project and I'm using 3.2, although the same
behavior existed in 3.1.
Thanks,
James
