A screenshot

Build ID: 20090621-0832

Steps To Reproduce:
1.Package Explorer -> any Java project -> Referenced Libraries
2.Expand a referenced library
3.Right click on a file
4.No 'Open With' in the right click menu. File can only be opened with default association.

More information:
XML file always has many associations and is packed in *.jar. That's inconvenient if I can only open it with default association. Actually I'm working with eclipse-jee-galileo-win32. But I think it should be a JDT feature. I will provide a screenshot if that's possible.

Moving to JDT/UI.
Do you need any support from JDT/Core for this?

I don't think so. We can detect the content type from the file name and given we already contribute 'Open' it should also work for 'Open With'.
