Description Amgad Hanafy CLA 2007-08-13 04:36:31 EDT 
Hi,

I'm creating an application that need to let the user to choose which program is used to open a file I looked in class org.eclipse.swt.program.Program
Program.launch(fileName) which launch the file with default program  &
findProgram (String extension) which return the default Program associated to this extension but I need to get list or array of all programs that can open this extension to choose from (like open with list of the windows)

Program[] findPrograms (String extension)

then I can select a program to open with 

Thank you in advance

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
