Re: Using WDSCi to edit Java

[Kurt Anderson <kurt.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys.

I created a java project.  Near as I can tell I associated it with our IFS network drive.  When I open source through the same IFS filter, I still have the same issue.  I go to the project and try to browse for source there and I see a src folder but it doesn't open.  I tried selecting Source > Organize Imports.  That gives me the following errors:

Problems while organizing imports on some compilation units. See 'Details' for more information.
  IFS Java Source/Java/get_template.java: Compilation unit has parse errors. No changes applied.
  IFS Java Source/Java/EMail.java: Compilation unit contains ambiguous references. User interaction required.
  IFS Java Source/Java/msgsend.java: Compilation unit contains ambiguous references. User interaction required.

I am kind of worried that this is going to be copying the java source to my workspace instead of using it on the IFS.

I'm with David - making a project over your existing code is much nicer
than the way I usually hack this up.  I use Windows File Explorer to
navigate to the folder, open a command window (Windows Power Tools) and
edit via Code/400.  Use the command window to javac and possibly test.

Do it David's way.  The hairs on your head will thank you.
