External Editor Code Sync

What we did with RoseRT was generate the RoseRT component, use an external editor (like Visual SlickEdit or UltraEdit) to modify code between //USR blocks as desired, taking advantage of the vastly faster and more powerful editing facilities of those tools, then run code sync from within RoseRT to bring back the changes.

Although the eclipse editor does have some degree of tagging and content completion capabilities, it is still vastly slower than the external editors I mentioned when it comes to modifying source files and jumping around the code using tagging. I would envision a similar usage with RSART to what I described above with our old RoseRT usage pattern. This would occur both during development and debug, while RSART was open.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion.

    This idea is either outdated or has been implemented in one of the versions. Please check with latest version (V 12.0 at the time of writing)

    The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
