I've installed WTP 0.7.1 on Eclipse 3.1.1.
When I view XML files, it does "all the right things", giving me the
schema in the Outline view, colorizing the text, and other things. It
apparently knows the file is an XML file by its file extent.
I have another file that is an XML file, but its extent is not ".xml".
How can I make all of the XML features work with this file? I thought it
might be in the "File Assocations" section of the Preferences, but I think
perhaps not. There wasn't even an entry for ".xml" there, and when I
added my new extent and associated it with the "XML Editor", it only
halfway worked. It now shows the XML file icon in the package view, but
it doesn't show the schema in the Outline view, and the Design tab says
"The document is empty. Right mouse click to insert content".

You just need to add the filename extension to those listed as "XML"
in the Content Type preferences. The editor is associated to the
XML file Content Type, not its filename extension specifically. The
Content Type preference can be used by more than just
editors--validation will eventually use it as well giving you
Problem reporting as well as editor support in one step.
