hi

In my plugin i want to treat all the *.GWSDL files as if they were XML.
But i don't want to do it by Window->Preferences->Appearence->File
Associations. I want to do it programmaticaly with an extension.

Any hint of how can i do it?

thanks

I don't think there currently is any way, but your post reminded me to put
a contribution in bugzilla that is related to this requirment. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=52784. It also points to some
of the other related bugs and work going on in this area.

ummm, maybe until is supported i could use an existent editor, for
example, the one used for the feature manifest. How could i use this
programmaticaly?

Sorry, but looking at the code of the class FileEditorMapping i can't see
how it works. I suppose that i have to create a EditorDescriptor and tell
it that the editor i want is the one of XML but i don't know how to do it
:-(

I also suppose that i have to create a FileEditorMapping instance and tell
it that the extension i want is .GWSDL.

Am i right more or less?
