Description Les Kopari 2002-04-30 06:34:29 UTC 
The current explorer does not open a source file when the 
node, which is a class file only, is double clicked on, 
which one might expect from the user interface for source 
files.

I'd like to be able to double click on any of my files to 
have Explorer search out and bring the source editor for 
the source file that generated the class file.

Seems like a reasonable expectation to this uninformed 
user.

Is this possible?

Please?

From an avid user?

Thanks.

Les.

1) its ours (reassigning)
2) something like this is reasonable; but I would like to make sure
that the user will not think that the class file itself is being
opened. I suggest to wait a little for the new project system for
this; it allows much better relationship tracking.

Set target milestone to TBD
Comment 3 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:43:01 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
