As I have read the post about the idea of breathing new life into
Visual Age RPG the first thing I thought was 'What a waste of
resources!'. But my second thought was 'Why not add System i
specific support/features to the Eclipse RCP to ease the development of
stand alone applications for the System i environment?!'. The first
step has already been made. The JTOpen IBM Toolbox for Java is
already available as an Eclipse plugin from my site (see SVN).
The next step would be to have the server connection configurable and
create some additional widgets for some normal stuff like subfile, etc.
Though before createing new widgets one should look at the vast
amount of widgets already available in the Eclipse framework
(f. e. see Eclipse Forms framework).
Your thoughts about this are welcome. Regards, Mihael.

There is a new video tutorial for the RPG editor. Did you ever
whished you could create an offline project for source reviewing?
Now you can. With the version 0.5.0 there is a new wizard for
creating an offline project and importing the source members to
a folder in an Eclipse project. You need an Eclipse distribution
for this feature. It is not available in the stand alone RCP
application.

After some exhausting hours building a feature project and the
update site for the editor I have successfully finished it.
The update site is now available again with the RPG Next Gen
Feature 0.5.0. It should work with any Eclipse 3.4.x installation.

I got some problems setting up the update site. Eclipse does
have some nice wizards for creating the feature project and then
creating an update site. It is probably only me but something
seems broken because when I try to use the update site the new
update manager says something about: Unsatisfied dependenciess.
I have spent hours on this and it is not working and it really
sucks. Probably the things that sucks most is that it is not saying
what is wrong. I have no clue what to fix so there probably
will not be any working update site for the 0.5.0 version of the
editor for the next couple of weeks. If you still want to use
the 0.5.0 version take the RCP download. That works at least.
