What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a script in SL 2. Press the Edit button (after configuring the SL External Editor to be eclipse

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to open the script in eclipse, instead get: Could not open the editor: Invalid Input: Must be IFileEditorInput

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I'm using the latest lslforge on Eclipse Helios on win 7 (64 bit)

Please provide any additional information below. Error stack is: org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Invalid Input: Must be IFileEditorInput at lslforge.editor.LSLMultiPageEditor.init(LSLMultiPageEditor.java:246) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.createSite(EditorManager.java:798) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPartHelper(EditorReference.java:647) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPart(EditorReference.java:465) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPartReference.getPart(WorkbenchPartReference.java:595) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.getEditor(EditorReference.java:289) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.busyOpenEditorBatched(WorkbenchPage.java:2863) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.busyOpenEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2768) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.access$11(WorkbenchPage.java:2760) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage$10.run(WorkbenchPage.java:2711) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.BusyIndicator.showWhile(BusyIndicator.java:70) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2707) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2691) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2674) at org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openInternalEditorOnFileStore(IDE.java:1225) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.DelayedEventsProcessor$1.run(DelayedEventsProcessor.java:106) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.RunnableLock.run(RunnableLock.java:35) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Synchronizer.runAsyncMessages(Synchronizer.java:134) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runAsyncMessages(Display.java:4041) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3660) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2640) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2604) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2438) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$7.run(Workbench.java:671) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:664) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:115) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:369) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:620) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:575) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1408) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1384)

The problem also occurs in eclipse 4.2 Classic

Due to the way Eclipse requires everything to be in a project/workspace, simply invoking Eclipse will not work. Will keep this issue open though - we really want to fix this in a future release, but unfortunately it's not a simple fix, so it might be a few releases before we can get to it.

Does this mean it's impossible at this time to actually save a file in eclipse and have it automatically update the script in Second Life?

Sadly, that's exactly what it means. Thus, I'm reduced to cut and paste for getting files from eclipse into SL. I miss the convenience of being able to open the file in SL, press the Edit button at the bottom of the window and have the file duplicated in eclipse - that was an extremely convenient feature of lslPlus.

Is there still no solution for this issue? Why am I able to open a .txt file with Eclipse via right-click, Open with, then select eclipse.exe ? It's a newly created text file in my Downloads folder and not apart of any project/workspace.
