How to override double click even of a folder in the Resources view of Eclipse [message #329833]

I want to open an XML file when a folder is double clicked in the
Resources Views (Project Explorer / Package Explorer / Navigator) of
Eclipse. I do not want to create a new view, i just want to override the
folder double click event.

You can get the actual viewer associated with the navigator and use the
OpenStrategy class to handle the double click event on the viewer.

For the project explorer (common navigator), you can get the viewer like
this:

CommonNavigator nav = (CommonNavigator)getWorkbenchPage()
.findView(ProjectExplorer.VIEW_ID);
CommonViewer viewer = nav.getCommonViewer();

I will leave it as an exercised for the reader for how to get the
ResourceNavigator (Package Explorer) and it's viewer.
