Hello everyone, my setup is Eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

Every time I choose to open a file with the system editor Eclipse opens Nautilus. I would like Eclipse to open pdf files with Evince, for instance, or .dia files with Dia. So far I haven't found any place in the Preferences menu to set this sort of associations, how can it be done?

Thank you.

You can do this on the 'File Associations' preference page.
