Is there a parser for RPG that I can obtain somewhere? I use the LPEX
editor in Code/400 and wanted to try out the RPG support in CDT.
Also, how can I manually open the LPEX editor to edit a file? For
example, if I wanted to edit Java or HTML using the LPEX editor.
Specifically, I created a Cobol file in my C/C++ project but it opens in
the default text editor.
Thanks

Mark,
1.- There is no generally-available RPG parser yet.
2.- In order for an Eclipse editor to be used on certain file
extensions, they must be first registered in the editor's plugin.xml.
As you're using CDT, go to \eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.cpp.ui, and
add the file extensions you want to the "extensions" tag in '<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors"> <editor ..' of the plugin.xml.
3.- LPEX itself associates file extensions with parsers. See
"Workbench"->"Preferences"->"LPEX Editor"->[+]->"Parser Associations".
For COBOL, these extensions are associated by default: *.CBL, *.CPY,
*.cbl, and *.cpy. See also "Workbench"->"Preferences"->"LPEX
Editor"->[+]->"Parsers" for the flavours of COBOL parsers available.

CDT doesn't have an RPG parser so I can't say I know of one that you can
obtain.
If you want to use LPEX to edit a file, you can configure Eclipse to default
to LPEX for specific file extensions. To do this, goto the Preferences
dialog, Workbench, File Editors. In the File Editors dialog, you can
specify file suffixes (ie. *.java, *.cpp, *.html, etc.) and associate them
with a particular editor.

REXX macros are not supported. Even if they were, the Java LPEX
command, action, and parameter sets are different, and the Eclipse
framework imposes its own limitations (e.g., in how to add menus,
open/close views, etc.), so any such macros would have to be
significantly rewritten anyway.

Mark,
At the LPEX level, you can extend/override/define new commands and
actions, write a user profile with your own customizations, extend the
document parsers, etc. Examples are in package com.ibm.lpex.samples,
and in the various parser packages (see
eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.lpex\lpexsrc.zip). The API documentation didn't
seem to have been included in the CDT driver for Eclipse R2.0, but I can
send you a zip.
At the Eclipse level, you can extend com.ibm.lpex.alef.LpexTextEditor
(or CppEditor), etc.

It's all academic now (as one should go through the Preferences, as indicated
by Dave in another append), but just for closure's sake... Excerpted from a
post to the platform-ui-dev-admin mailing list:
.. . .
From some trial and error it appears to me that the first time eclipse is
started up the editors for a particular file extension are added in
alphabetical order (of the plugin id that the editor is declared in), and
then the first one in the list is the default.
Instead of doing it alphabetically, it would be better if we could register
our editor with a relative priority. This would allow our editor to be
used only if there are no others.
.. . .
