Subroutine Pool shown as Include in Eclipse ADT and cannot be opened

Hello,

NB: this is a question I had, and could solve it so I don't need help, but I'm also posting the answer so it may help future visitors.

I can't find a solution to open a Subroutine Pool inside the Eclipse ABAP editor.

First thing I notice is that a Subroutine Pool is shown as being an Include !?

If I double-click the program, I get this error: "Editor cannot load [<system ID>] <program name> (Include)."

After pressing OK, a tab is opened with a follow-up error: "The editor can not be shown because the content can not be synchronized with the backend."

Of course, I can open it via SAP GUI:

But my question is:

How is it possible to open a subroutine pool via the Eclipse ABAP editor?

Thank you!

Sandra

I'm using:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: 2022-12
ABAP Development Tools Version: 1.146.0
ABAP Backend version 7.57

The only workaround I could find is the following.

Instead of double-clicking the program to open it, do as follows:

Click the program name once > Copy its name (Ctrl+C or right-click > copy)

Open the dialog to open any ABAP object (Ctrl+Shift+A, or the menu Navigate > Open ABAP Development Object, or the equivalent button in the bar of icons)

Paste (Ctrl+V or right-click > paste - Notice that here it's identified as a Program and not as an Include) and Enter

The subroutine pool now successfully opens via the Eclipse ADT editor:
