XML editor does not support file w/ BPEL extension [message #145207]

I created a file association for *.BPEL files to open w/ xml editor.

When I open a .bpel file, the xml editor does not appear to treat it as xml.
I cannot format the document, and other xml editor features are not
available.

If I rename the fiel to something.xml, then the editor works as expected.

QUESTION: do I need to modify a config file somewhere to make the xml editor
recognize .bpel extensions?

No, but you should also add ".bpel" to the list of extensions to be
treated as XML in the "Content Types" preference page. It should
work after that.

Is it possible to add extensions to Content Types using an API, script or
command-line option?
I have several desktops to update, and it would help if I can automate this.

Not any of those ways, since they're defined by plugin extensions.
Your best bet is to create a plugin using the New Plugin wizard that
prereqs org.eclipse.core.runtime and adds an extension for the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes extension point. Once built,
that plugin that then be added to any installation to allow BPEL
files to be treated as XML.

The org.eclipse.jst.jsp.core plugin.xml does the exact thing you
need to do to treat tag library descriptors (.tld files) as XML:

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">

<file-association
content-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
file-extensions="tld" />
</extension>

I added the following to my plugin.xml and it has done exactly what I need.

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<content-type priority="high"
name="%xpBPELContentType"
id="bpelsource"
base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
default-charset="UTF-8"
file-extensions="bpel" />
</extension>
