The 11.1 release of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge is shipped with Eclipse 3.6 and is certified with Eclipse 3.7.1. Both these versions are supported by Progress Software Technical Support.
New parameters added to integrateArchitect.bat
With the 11.1 release, the following new parameters have been added to the integrateArchitect.bat file:
OVERWRITE_EXISTING_PARAMS: If set to TRUE, the file property (provided by Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge) set in eclipse_orig.ini will be added with the value specified in the eclipse.ini file (provided by Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge). If the property is not set, it will not result in any change in the target eclipse.ini file.
ADD_MISSING_PARAMS: If set to TRUE, the current property value (provided by Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge) in the target Eclipse is overwritten with the newly provided value.
These parameters are turned off by default. The eclipse_orig.ini and config_orig.ini files are located in the %DLC%\oeide location. The integrateArchitect.bat uses these files and merges them into the destination Eclipse files.
Opening multiple files in the same instance of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge
With the 11.1 release, you can open multiple files in the same instance of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. The files that support this feature are: .p, .i, .w, and .dgm (diagram files). For opening other file extensions, you must have a registry entry.
To open files in the same instance of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, you can use one of the following methods:
Select the files, right-click and select Open in PDSOE
Select the files and double-click
Use the command line
Debug Listing Support
The 11.1 release of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge allows you to use the line number of a debug listing file to go directly to a specific source line of the currently active file in the OpenEdge ABL Editor. You no longer need to manually generate the debug listing file in order to identify the actual location of the error in the source code.
Removal of Classic Software Updates
From the 11.1 release of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, the Classic Software Updates option is removed from the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge Help menu. Also, the Classic Software updates preferences option is removed from Windows > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Advanced, which was used to enable Classic Software Updates for the OpenEdge application installed on your system.
Instead of the Classic Software Updates menu option, you can use the Install New Software menu option or P2 director application to install a new plugin or software upgrade for Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
Optimally build the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for an Include file
Some of the programs might have many references of the same include file. Such programs cause the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge to consume more memory, because each include file has a separate AST. The Include file preferences section on the Parsing preferences page allows you manage the include file references of a program while constructing an AST.
You can access the Parsing preferences page by selecting Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Advanced > Parsing.
Upgrade to Infragistics .NET v2012
The 11.1 release of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge includes Infragistics .NET v2012 Vol2. The 11.0 release was shipped with Infragistics .NET v2011 Vol1.

DB Navigator upgrade to JDBC 5.0 driver
To use the enhanced functionality and to remain current with the upgraded drivers, DB Navigator has been upgraded to the JDBC 5.0 driver.
OVERWRITE_EXISTING_PARAMS: If set to TRUE, the file property (provided by Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge) set in eclipse_orig.ini will be added with the value specified in the eclipse.ini file (provided by Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge). If the property is not set, it will not result in any change in the target eclipse.ini file.
