Opening an existing message set

Before you start:

To complete this task, you must have completed the following task:

Tip: Although you can open resource files with other editors you are advised to only use the workbench Message Set editor to work with message set files because this editor correctly validates changes made to the messageSet.mset files when they are saved. Other editors might not do this.

To open a message set so that you can view or edit its contents:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. In the Resource Navigator, right-click the messageSet.mset file of the message set that you are opening then click Open on the pop-up menu. This launches the Message Set editor for the selected file.

You can now view or edit the file as required.
