I am having problems with some file extensions and the editor
associations. It seems that .properties files are currently messed up,
although I've seen the same with other text-based file types (.log,
..txt, etc.)
When I select any .properties file in my Eclipse Navigator, it is opened
in the system editor (TextPad, in this case) instead of the Eclipse
editor. I have checked my File Association preferences, and the
*.properties and build.properties settings both indicate Eclipse editors
as the only one available. I have also tried removing the *.properties
and build.properties associations with no luck - same behavior. In fact,
when I restart Eclipse after doing so, those associations are magically
resurrected.
Seems that the file associations is somehow broken, but I'm trying to
determine if anyone else is seeing this or if it could be something
funky going on with one of the many plugins I have installed.
At a minimum I'd like to be able to correct it so .properties files get
opened in the Eclipse text or Properties editor.
Any ideas?
Eric

The extensions that are registered via extension point can't be removed.
This should be indicated in the UI, see:

Thanks for opening that bug - I suspected that was the case but was at
the time more concerned about the wrong editor opening than the
ancillary issue of removed associations coming back to life ;-)
