Re: IBM Rational Developer for i, V9.5.1 delivers new support for Apple Mac platform and other significant enhancements

"(i.e. everything runs under Apache profile QTMHHTTP instead of your own IBM i profile).”

Can’t you add the normal Apache directives to force the use of System sign on?

I am on a Node.js project where the company put together their own ESLint
file to convey their coding guidelines in the VSCode editor. It's
fantastic because it tells me not only when I have incorrect language
syntax but also when I haven't followed the shop coding standards (i.e. if
I declare a Javascript function using an old fashion approach it will put a
squiggly red line under the code).

Imagine having this for RPG so all programmers are told, in real-time,
whether they're following shop coding standards. Very cool.

Concerning Orion, for me I am in "wait and see" mode. There's a handful of
"issues" with Orion that make it cumbersome (i.e. everything runs under
Apache profile QTMHHTTP instead of your own IBM i profile). And there's
one usability issue I have with how it does tabs for different source
members (one each, and it uses the browser's tabs vs. having tabs created
via HTML within a single browser tab).

I don’t want to have a connection to be able to do anything.

​Opinion: It would be great if somebody developed an Electron/Node.js app
for editing source on IBM i (both IFS and *SRCPF). This would/could give
the offline editing capabilities, yet have the code base shared with a

web

front-end. This is similar to what VSCode has, though I don't know if
their long-term direction is a web-based editor.
