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

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.

Solution

  • 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.
