Language default editor [message #1732770]

Why in a Xtext project, the publisher created is not taken as the default editor?
Why the default option of the editor in the manifest Extensions tab it is no longer taken into account when set to true?

The parameterization is found both in the plugin.xml but is no longer taken into account when it was in previous versions of Xtext !!!!!

How bearing it programmatically?
How to overcome this problem with code?

Thanks

Hi,

i cannot follow you

do you mean

<editor
            class="org.xtext.example.mydsl1.ui.MyDslExecutableExtensionFactory:org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.XtextEditor"
            contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditorActionContributor"
            default="true"
            extensions="mydsl1"
            id="org.xtext.example.mydsl1.MyDsl"
            name="MyDsl Editor">
        </editor>

that default="true" is not taken into account, even in a new workspace?

and what is the "old" and the "new" version of xtext

Version Eclipse DSL Tools Mars.2 versus Eclipse DSL Tools Mars.1
Yes, even with a new workspace.
Yes it is the default=true (defined with the wizard).

Here is the beginning of my plugin.xml file.

Yes, I have to try everything, but I just noticed that Eclipse appears at startup:

I have the same problem to start perspective to start the application (it will be displayed in the list of prospects during a manual start as the default perspective but it does not start).
