Is there a way to make Eclipse recognize another extension as being type
ZIP?
From the Resource perspective Navigator, I'm able to do a compare on two
ZIP or JAR files, and see the differences of the contained files (Compare
With > Each Other). However, if I do a comparison on an unknown extension
(.cpd, a "project" file for my app, which is a zip of XML files) the
compare tool treats them as binary. In the Preferences for File
Associations, there is nothing for .zip or .jar. My workaround is to
rename the .cpd files to .zip.
Thanks,
Mike

There is no preference UI for adding more file extensions.
(Please file a feature request)
However, you can add these extensions to the Compare plugin's
plugin.xml file:
<extension point="org.eclipse.compare.structureCreators">
<structureCreator
id="org.eclipse.compare.ZipFileStructureCreator"
extensions="zip,cpd"
class="org.eclipse.compare.ZipFileStructureCreator">
</structureCreator>
</extension>
or create your own plugin that only contains a single plugin.xml file
with the definition from above.
