Using Eclim on a shared computer?

[Conrad Dean]

Occasionally I need other developers to pair with me on projects, and Eclipse remembers the last-used editor for a given file. Because of this, sometimes opening a file defaults to gvim-- and my coworker doesn't use vim so we have to manually re-open it in an eclipse editor.

Is there:
A way for eclipse to stop using gvim on stuff?

A way for me to map a hotkey to specifically opening stuff with gvim?

Thanks so much,

Conrad

I added an item to my todo list to see if there is a way that I can
revert eclipse to the original default editor after opening with gvim.
I don't know where or at what point eclipse sets the default editor
for a given file so I'm not sure how feasible it will be.

I don't see an existing way to bind an eclipse key binding to open a
file with a specific editor, so I added another entry to my todo list
to see about adding a new command to open with gvim which could then
be bound via eclipse's key binding manager.

Please note that it'll be awhile before I can look into either these.
