    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12713140#comment-12713140 ] 

George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-466:
---------------------------------------

Actually it is done via 

{code:java}
Desktop.getDesktop().open(File path);
{code}

so I guess it's only a matter of changing your file association configuration

> Use the more generic "gnome-open" to edit a file rather than "gedit". This is a very simple, one-line fix that can provide the ability to use an alternate editor in the short term until a formal configuration solution is implemented.
> sed -i 's/gedit/gnome-open/' shell/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/shell/plugins/builtin/EditPlugin.java
> You may want to take it one step further and check if gnome-open is there. If not, try kde-open. As a last resort, you can just open the file normally (like the view plugin).
