I never know what to expect from double-clicking a node in the Explorer tree; the default action isn't the first on the context menu, nor does the context menu highlight the default. For example, the default action for an XML file (assuming the XML module is installed) is 'Open' which is the second item on the context menu. The default action for an Ant script is Execute, which is some way down the context menu. There's no way to find this out except by double clicking and hoping you don't get an undesired behaviour. I'd like to see the default action identified somehow on the contet menu -- perhaps by bolding that entry?
Target milestone -> 3.4
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
In my opinion it will be nice to have this enhancement integrated in the IDE, but I don't know who is responsible. Perhaps David, feel free to reassigne.
