opening file in Eclipse using file type assocation [message #271084]

Hi,

I would like to open a file for editing with Eclipse by simply double clicking on it, e.g. in a file
manager. I can simply add Eclipse using a file association, but I'm looking for a command-line
option to tell it to actually open the given file? Or is there another way to achieve this?

Regards,
Wieant

Ah, bugzilla, eternal source of information, figured we weren't the only ones looking
for this feature. Thanks.
