Is there a modern open source text editor for IBM i stream files in the PASE environment

Question

Do you know of an open source Eclipse plugin text editor for use with text and source files in the IBM i Pase / aix file system ? Ideally it would have an IBM i IFS browser and edit similar to the one in Rational Developer for i.

Answer 1

Check out this answer from a similar SO question.

Other than that..

• Rational Developer for i does have an integrated IFS browser.
• Notepad++ with NppFTP in SFTP mode seems to work okay for Windows.
• If you're interested in using Visual Studio code, a simple Google search for "Visual Studio Code sftp browser" will show you some extensions which allows you to access the IBM i IFS using SFTP as well.

Answer 2

Well it's not an eclipse plug-in, but Orion is an browser based, open source project under the Eclipse Cloud Development top-level project.

And it's supported on the IBM i.
