Hi All,
I'm trying to define a content type for XML files that have a specific
root element and namespace. I did some searching and found that using the
XMLRootElementContentDescriber2 describer class should get me what I want.
I then hooked up an editor to the content type, and double clicking on
the file opens the correct editor in some cases, but not all.
Here's how I defined the content type:
<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<content-type id="exampleID"
name="Example XML Content Type"
base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
priority="high"
file-extensions="xml">
<describer
class=" org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescri ber2 ">
<parameter name="element"
value="{http://www.example.com/ex}example"/>
</describer>
</content-type>
</extension>
1. As expected, the editor opens when double clicking on XML files that
look like:
<example xmlns="http://www.example.com/ex">
...
</example>
2. As expected, the editor does not open for XML files that look like:
<example>
...
</example>
3. Not as expected, the editor does NOT open for XML files that look like:
<ex:example ex:xmlns="http://www.example.com/ex">
...
</ex:example>
I tried removing the namespace from the content type definition
(value="example") and that changed case #2 to open in the editor, but case
#3 still does not.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or is this not supported by
XMLRootElementContentDescriber2?
Thanks,
Nadeem

Of course the problem turned out to be obvious... I accidentally messed
up the namespace-prefix binding (switched "ex" and "xmlns"). Now
everything works as it should.
