This is another problem, the compare viewer comparator definition
of what partitionner to use is define in the plugin.xml and it is base on ...
extensions and filenames ... unfortunately this mean that this is static.
The new IContentType stuff put in place in Eclispse-3.0 does not seem
to help either .. 
I will move this to a new PR.

Allright, after exchanging with The Eclipse/Runtime folks
There may be a solution to this

Comment 2 Alain Magloire CLA 2004-11-03 11:08:01 EST 
To be able to do this we need support from Eclipse-3.1 IContentTypeManager
extension point.
Comment 3 Alain Magloire CLA 2005-06-09 15:15:07 EDT 
CDT is now using the IContentTypeManager framework.

Marking this has fix
