I've recently moved to Eclipse 4. In eclipse 3.x to define which editor will be associated with file extension I had to define editors extension with extension associated with it. How to do that in Eclipse 4 where editor doesn't any more inherit from EditorPart
but it's a part defined with dependency injection.
Here is the old version. What is best practice for defining custom editor being opened when we double click file with certain extension (ex. bcx) in Projects View?
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
class="com.abb.pestc.cothex.ui.editors.AirToAirEditor"
default="true"
extensions="acx"
icon="icons/cothexAirToAir.png"
id="com.abb.pestc.cothex.ui.editors.AirToAirEditor"
name="Air to Air Editor">
</editor>
<editor
class="com.abb.pestc.cothex.ui.editors.BaseToAirEditor"
default="true"
extensions="bcx"
icon="icons/cothexBaseToAir.png"
id="com.abb.pestc.cothex.ui.editors.BaseToAirEditor"
name="Base to Air Editor">
</editor>
</extension>
Interestingly, even in Kepler's sample Plugin projects, 3.* code is used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="Sample XML Editor"
extensions="xml"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.BasicTextEditorActionContributor"
class="tempse.editors.XMLEditor"
id="tempse.editors.XMLEditor">
</editor>
</extension>
</plugin>
So I suspect the answer is 'same way you did it before'. I've just moved a custom editor project from 3.* to 4.* without having to make any changes at that end (and for reverse compatibility reasons I'm fairly sure I wouldn't want to).
