With current effort to support non-java extensions with java content (see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71460) some problems still exist with UI: - syntax highlight is not working. - when navigate with ctrl-click the source is colored permanently with blue color. Some time back I was trying make brutal search for ".java" string in UI sources and found many like those. With non-java extensions support there should not be hardcoded assumption on file extension, but one should consult a core plugin.
The Java editor is based on the Java model and there are no plans to go beyond this. Once the Java model supports to work on non-*.java files the editor will behave as expected (bug 89240 which binds editors to content-types is planned to be fixed in M7). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71460 ***
