Hey all,
After perusing the code, I've found a some external editor classes for using
Toad as an editor for your datasource and query. I've also located a class
(ExternalEditorPreferencePage) that will let you select an external editor.
What I can't find is any documentation that would get me on the road to:
a- Activating this external editor preferences page.
b- Replacing the datasource and dataset editors with one of these plugins.
I understand that the project is in it's infancy, but can anyone out there
provide some hints on where to hook this stuff together?
I have tried modifying the plugin.xml for
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.ui and adding a preferencepage
extension for the preferences class. But, when I set it, I don't seem to
find anything that will let me activate something else as an editor.
A simple primer will suffice - I don't need any super-detailed directions (I
don't think).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Marc

Hi Marc,
The external editor code was an attempt to try and integrate with TOAD.
It is not complete.
We have removed it and will probably return to it at present.
The TOAD editor will work however, you will have to make quite a few
changes for it to work.
My suggestion at this time is that its better if you wait until we
decide on a clean integration for external editors.
Thanks,
Roshan
