Greetings,
I am trying to get External Editors to work with OS X.
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg33 393.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

Right-click or Ctrl-click the *.app "file" and select "Show Contents"
(or "Show Package Contents" or similar) from the context menu.
