IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

    Thank you for your feedback.
    We wish to make you aware of the ability to use Eclipse APIs to be notified of when an editor is opened or saved.
    For example one can use the IPartListener.partOpened() to know when an editor is opened:
    http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fui%2FIPartListener.html
    This article describes how to participate in saves: http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fui%2FIPartListener.html .
    Also we wish to make you aware of the git source control which is freely available on the IBM i.
    At this point we do not feel that this requirement should take precedent over many others that have no work around and would be of interest to many more of our clients.

    Sounds like a good idea.
    Thus you can check that the source member is opened in the Development library. Otherwise an error could be send if an user tries to edit the source in the production source library.
