How to use MultiPageEditor for .java extension [message #190720]

I have been trying to figure out how to use MultiPageEditor functionality in
my plugin.
My problem is that i want the editor to open on java files, somehow the
files seem to be locked by Eclipse.
Cause if i set the plugin to react on any other file extension the editor
opens up.

I have read around and all the examples i have found takes a basis in the
fact that you use your own created file extensions.
Also the two books iv read, O'Reilly's book about eclipse and Contributing
to Eclipse by Kent Beck & Erich Gamma,
does not give me much answers about the issue.

If anyone have had the same problem and know some good resources that i
could read?
Or have an answer to my problem, i would be most grateful.

You are right, the .java editor is locked and you cant change it editor
without modifying sources of eclipse... AFAIK

This should work by contributing your editor via
"org.eclipse.ui.editors" extension point either with extensions="java" or
<contentTypeBinding contentTypeId="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaSource"/>.
Your editor will then be available in the Open With section and users
can choose your editor as default via General > Editors > File
Associations preference page.

Thank you for the reply, it helped :)
I didnt think i had to change the default editor when i did not have to do
so when i created my own extensions.
