<extension point="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.documentProviders"> 
    <provider 
        extensions=".jav" 
        class="org.eclipse.ui.examples.javaeditor.JavaDocumentProvider" 
        id="org.eclipse.ui.examples.javaeditor.JavaDocumentProvider"> 
    </provider> 
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.documentProviders"> 
    <provider 
        inputTypes="org.eclipse.ui.IStorageEditorInput" 
        class="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.FileDocumentProvider" 
        id="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.FileDocumentProvider"> 
    </provider> 
</extension> 

This example registers org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.resources.editor.FileDocumentProvider as the default provider for all editor inputs that are instance of org.eclipse.ui.IStorageEditorInput.
