Is there a way to define file types and what editors to use without the
dumb fixation on file name extensions? For instance, programs that are
used as commands could be written in perl, bash, ruby etc. and will not
usually have and extension. Still, I would like the IDE to recognize
the type, e.g. based on the first few lines of the file like (X)Emacs
does since eons now.
So is this possible in Eclipse too?

No, unfortunately. Eclipse doesn't even do simple pattern matching. If
you like, you can vote for:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22905
in the Eclipse Bugzilla (and also add your suggestions about looking
into the file for type info).
