Hi All,

is there a way to register file extension to various editors inside eclipse ?

I mean from a plugin and not manually from the file extensions preferences.

I found this :

IEditorRegistry registry = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getEditorRegistry();
registry.setDefaultEditor("*.ext", "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");

I can analyse the editors set registered for a particular extension but no way to
dynamically registers other editors.

There is also an API but this is internal, so no warranty for future eclipse relases.

Regards.

When you register an editor via xml, you can specify the file types it can
accept.

There is no way via xml to associate a file type with an existing editor.
You can open a feature request against Platform - UI for this (explain your
use case also)
