Re: [gef-dev] How does the workbench know which editor to use to open up

[Elias Volanakis <developer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the coupling between .flow-file and the editor is done in "plugin.xml", 
by defining an editor-extension:

...
<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
      <editor
            default="true"
            name="GEF Flow Example"
            extensions="flow"
            icon="view.gif"
            class="org.eclipse.gef.examples.flow.ui.FlowEditor"
            
contributorClass="org.eclipse.gef.examples.flow.actions.FlowActionBarContributor"
            id="GEF Flow Editor">
      </editor>
   </extension>
...

Regards,
Elias.
