So it's obvious from the "New File Association" dialog that eclipse does
not allow you to add an association with no file extension, Example:
my_file (I'd like to associate file of this type)
my_file.class (This I can do of course)
This is fairly common and I've setup file associations in many other
text editors and IDEs with no file extension.
Currently it's making it pretty much impossible for me to be effective
because I can't use different editors and tools for files with no extension.
BTW, I've even gone as far as to hack my config and setup a new file
association in the xml as extension="" name="*" and although this will
actually show up as a file association in the settings window, it still
does not work as expected.
Hopefully this is a simple change because it's a small feature many
would benefit from.
Regards,
Tony

Yea, I understand content types as well. Although you can specify myfile
as an association, that isn't general. So, if I have 150 files with
different names, with no extension, I'd have to enter an association for
each.
I just wish you could setup an asscoaition as *.
Thanks for the input :)
