What are SNAPs?
SNAPs are special-purpose Windows-integrated applications known as simple non-integrated applications (SNAPs). SNAP applications (known as just SNAPs) are targeted for quick, non-IDE based development tasks. The four SNAP applications currently available are: the MyEclipse HTML Designer, MyEclipse Database Explorer, MyEclipse Image Editor and MyEclipse XML Editor. The SNAPs are provided for the Windows OS platform and are included in the All-in-One installer.

What is a "Use-Anywhere" Connector?
MyEclipse SNAPs now offer "Use-Anywhere" Connectors, which allow users of NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, and Visual Studio to utilize these agile tools within their own environments.

SNAPs and Use-Anywhere Connectors are available for Windows only.

SNAPs Overview

The four SNAPS currently available

New shortcuts are now available in the Windows Start menu.

Windows Desktop Integration

The SNAPs are designed to work seamless on the Windows platform. During the installation process Windows is configured to support associations with each SNAP.

Supported File Types
MyEclipse HTML Designer	.htm .html
MyEclipse XML Editor	.xml .xsd .dtd
MyEclipse Database Explorer	.sql .ddl
MyEclipse Image Editor	.bmp .gif .ie (MyEclipse Image) .jpg .jpeg .gif .tif .tiff

An Edit with MyEclipse... shortcut is available in the context menu of all supported file types.

For each supported file type, the appropriate MyEclipse SNAP will be included in the Open With menu.

The MyEclipse SNAPs are listed in the recommended programs for their supported files types. They are also generally available in the list of Programs available to Windows.

MyEclipse SNAPs can be easily set as the double-click default using the Open With > 'Always use' option.

All MyEclipse SNAPs are configured to launch and use only one instance. Thus when 2 or more files with the same file-type are activated (e.g., dbl-click) they all open in the same application window for editing.

An integrated File View that works with the Windows file system is available in the default UI layout of each MyEclipse SNAP.

IDE Crossover

Because the MyEclipse SNAPs can be configured as the default editors for Windows, this enables them to be launched from Eclipse by using the Open With > System Editor menu.
