In my Editor the PartitioningDocumentSetupParticipant is working well for files with *.my.
Using General > Editors > File Associations preference page i added a new File Association *.myx for the same Associated Editor.

The Editor now opens for *.myx Files but the partitioning from PartitioningDocumentSetupParticipant is not running.

eclipse 3.6 plugin.xml
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="My Editor"
extensions="my"
...
</editor>
</extension>
<extension
...
<participant
class="ui.PartitioningDocumentSetupParticipant"
extensions="my">
</participant>
</extension>

Which document provider are you using/getting?

If You're extending the base TextEditor class, what happens if you don't manually set the document provider instance?

*.my and *.myx will be treated as entirely unrelated filename extensions--*.my doesn't also match *.myx. Does that clear anything up?

< *.my doesn't also match *.myx > was not the problem.
But it seems that i found the solution in your [message #115679 is a reply to message #115532]
When partitioning is not running there is no color coding for elements in my samples too.
Therefore i will add *.myx as a filename extension on the Content Types preference page.

Thanks a lot, Nitin
