RPG Next Gen

RPG Next Gen Editor is a lightweight RPG editor solely based on the Eclipse platform. It has some basic plugins which among other things provide a tree view on the QSYS filesystem. The focus for the editor lies on small size and speed. The goal for this project is a feature complete RPG free-format editor which can be used to develop small to midsized projects for even the most advanced programming style.

I seem to be having an issue where when I try to compile from RPGNextGen(I don't usually use this feature) because it compiles a different program (possibly one I tried to compile a long time ago from RNG?) vs. the program who's tab is currently selected. The only way I have been able to get around it is to hard code the name of the source member in the "Source Member" field vs. specifying *PGM.

Steps: Select tab of program source member, select Source->Compile.
This task depends upon

If you are using the compile feature of rpgng then you have to specify the program name (default *CTLSPEC which ain't proably what you want). *PGM for the source member is only correct if the source member has the same name as the program name you specified. That has worked for me so far.

... and by the way I have worked with compile feature for some time now and I must say that it ain't that pretty. So I am open for some ideas.

Could you default the settings to be the following:

Program: srcpf-lib/src-mbr-name
Source: srcpf-lib/srcpf-name

That makes the most sense to me. Then if somebody wants to change it they can. Right now I have to change it regardless because it isn't ever going to be right out of the gates - know what I mean?

I know what you mean, but that is not as easy as it sounds =)
