[cdt-dev] Parsing Objective C syntax in a header file

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm working on resolving .h as an objective c header file (instead of  
a c/c++ header), but at the moment, it thinks .h files are C files.

http://code.google.com/p/objectiveclipse/issues/detail?id=25

The extension point defines the file extension as an objcHeader (based  
on objcSource):

 <extension
       point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
    <content-type
          base-type="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcSource"
          file-extensions="h"
          id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcHeader"
          name="%objc.header.name"
          priority="high">
    </content-type>
 </extension>

These are then associated with the language:

   <extension
       point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.language">
    <language
          class="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.dom.ast.objc.ObjCLanguage"
          id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcLanguage"
          name="%objc.language.name">
       <contentType
             id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcHeader">
       </contentType>
       <contentType
             id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcSource">
       </contentType>
    </language>
 </extension>

Creating a new file.h within an objective c project results in Eclipse  
defaulting to 'C header type' (as seen by right-clicking on the file  
and going to properties). I don't know how to get it recognised as an  
Objective-C header file instead, without which, the parser doesn't  
seem to be kicked in.
