| <div><p></p> |
| <div class="section"><p>You can associate certain editors with a file type by clicking |
| on <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span> > <span class="uicontrol">General</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Editors</span> > <span class="uicontrol">File |
| Association</span></span> and setting up the associations in the |
| File Associations Window.</p> |
| <p>Some Eclipse-based editors, however, will |
| only recognize a file based on the contents of the file. Consequently, if |
| you want to associate an additional file type with some editors, you may have |
| to first map the content type with its file extension. To map a content type |
| with a file extension, complete the following steps: </p> |
| <ol><li>Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> > <span class="uicontrol">General</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Content Types</span></span>. The Content Type window |
| appears. </li> |
| <li>Select a content type in the Content Type window, and then select <strong>Add</strong> . |
| The Define a New File Type window appears.</li> |
| <li>Type the name of the file type, and then click <strong>OK</strong>.</li> |
