Hello,

Is it possible to bind a editor in RCP to a specific filename without an extension.

I know there is some content type association, but do not have a clear picture as to how it works ?

Could anyone please share some information/snippet regarding this ?

Thanks,
Murthy

I think you have to define a matchingStrategy for your editor. Go into your editor extension point in the plugin.xml and click on the matchingStrategy link to create a new class that implements IEditorMatchingStrategy.

This Interface has one method called match(IEditorReference, IEditorInput) which returns true or false based on your algorithm.
