Hello All,

I have been trying this problem for a long time now, not able to find any
solution for it.
Like if i have two files with same extension, i want file 1 to open with
editor1 and file2 to open with editor2 after reading the contents from the
file.Currently eclipse does it by mentioning the file extension in the
plugin.xml.But for opeining of multiple editors on a single extension is
not possible.

Any suggestions or hints for this problem will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Saurav

That's what content types does. for a given extension (say XML) have a
look at the first X bytes and decide what kind of file it is (like an
ant buildfile vs a normal XML file).

There is an extension for contributing content types, and I believe you
can also specify them in your editor definition.
