Hi,
I need to set up file associations to an editor (which is part of my
plugin).
The file associations are given as extensions to an extension point i
define.

How associate files with these extensions to my editor?

thanks in advance
Lior

I never tried that but the method

public void setDefaultEditor(String fileNameOrExtension,String editorId)

on

IEditorRegistry should do it.

Thanks, but I know this method, it doesn't help since the editor passed to
it (by editorID) has to be associated to the given extension, this just sets
the *default* editor.
Actually it also says so in the API documentation.

I need the step before this one - setting up the association.

Any other ideas?
