Opening resources in the Navigator </h3>
<P CLASS="Para">Using the Navigator there are several ways to open an
editor.&nbsp;</P>
<ol>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para">In the Navigator select the file JanesFile.txt</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para">
To open an editor on the file choose one of the following approaches:</P>
<ul>
<li>
To edit a resource using the default editor for that resource you
can either double click on the resource (in the Navigator), or select the
resource and choose <b>Open</b> from its popup menu.&nbsp;<p>
</li>
<li>
If you want to use a specific editor to edit the resource, start
by selecting the resource in the Navigator, and choose the <b>Open With</b> option from
the popup menu.<p>
</li>
</ul>
<p CLASS="Para">The Workbench remembers the last editor that you used for
editing a specific file. This makes it easier to use the same editor down the
road.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<P CLASS="Para">
You can configure the default editors using <b>Window &gt; Preferences &gt;
Workbench &gt; File Associations</b>.</P>
