Uh, that's not quite true. I did something like this
in o.e.jdt.ui for .jardesc files:

   <extension
         id="javaeditor"
         point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
      <editor
         
  default="true"
         
  extensions="jardesc"
         
  icon="$nl$/icons/full/obj16/jar_desc_obj.gif"
         
  id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JARDescEditor"
         
  launcher="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.jarpackager.OpenJarExportWizardEditorLauncher"
         
  name="%jarDescEditorName">
      </editor>

Your IEditorLauncher
can also open and feed a view.

Yep, sorry for the additional spam, but I couldn't
resist correcting this.
