While working on Java code, sometimes I like to edit source code in an external editor, like emacsclient. So, I right-click, and choose "Open With", and then select "emacsclient" from the list. (I previously set it up so that "emacsclient" appears in the list.)
However, I don't always want to edit these source files in emacsclient; often I'd like to view them in the regular Eclipse Java editor. But Eclipse seems to remember that I previously chose "emacsclient" for particular source files. Now, by default Eclipse still tries to use emacsclient. This is inconvenient in some contexts: for example, in the Open Type dialog (Cntrl-Shift-T); or if I highlight a method call and press F3 (Open Declaration). These contexts don't give me a way to right-click and select which editor I want; they just automatically take me to whatever Eclipse thinks is the target file's default editor.
When this happens, I have to manually click through the package naming hierarchy in the Package Explorer to find the desired source file name. From there I can of course do the right-click and choose the Eclipse editor, but this is tedious.
Is there a way to make Eclipse reset, or "forget" that I previously wanted to edit certain files with an external editor?

No.
