Launching PL/Sql via Eclipse

[Ron from Wussta]

Each time I select an object for editing in Eclipse a new instance of Pl/Sql opens and asks me to login to the database. How can I set the tool to use the existing instance or add parmaters to eclipse to use the existing instance?

I'm not familiar with Eclipse, but PL/SQL Developer accepts the standard Windows DDE commands to open files in the current instance.

There is also a question about dde and the windows 7 registery from Gina that I am following that may be of help

I should have mentioned it is running from a remote location (server version)

Hi Ron
It worked when I was using xp & eclipse & pl/sql dev.
In File association - under advanced options for the open command , I clicked use ddeexec and had [Open("%1")] in dde-command.
(but maybe this will not work when running from a server version ?)
