Description Nick Edgar CLA 2003-11-17 21:49:02 EST
build N20031117 + latest from head

When opening an editor using DnD, if the default editor in the registry is not 
internal (and there's no OLE editor), it uses the default text editor.  
It would be better to check all registered editors, to handle the case where 
the default editor is external but there is still a registered internal editor.

For example, add "Word Document" as an external editor for .java files, and 
mark it as the default.  DnD on a .java file currently opens a plain text 
editor rather than a Java editor.

See IEditorRegistry.getEditors(String).

See bug 46747 for more context.

Cleaning up defect lists by setting ones without recent traffic to 'REMIND'.
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:11:40 EDT
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
