Hello,
I'm having this strange behaviour when I open an xml file with a certain
tag. I did some research and found some related bugs to my problem in the
eclipse bug database (Bug 78340).
I created a simple xml file that looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
<parent>
<child>
<property></property>
</child>
</parent>
</project>
and I get the following error message when I reopen it in the XML Source
Page Editor:
Cannot open default editor on Sample.xml. Editor could not be initialized.
The culprit is the <project> tag and it has to be the first tag in the xml
file.
On the other hand the following xml file opens correctly in the XML Source
Page Editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<parent>
<child>
<property>
<project></project>
</property>
</child>
</parent>
Here the <project> tag is nested.
I just want to know if this is a bug or it's just happening to me.
thxs,
Will

What happens if you add a DOCTYPE before the <project> tag or a
namespace to it? Will the Ant editor still take preference?
