[news.eclipse.platform] Default editors ?

Hi,

I've been looking at

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=97811#c4
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88370
and some other editor lookup related bugs.

Is it still true that a plugin is not capable of changing the default editor for e.g. more specific xml files ?

Registring a xml content-type and a editor for that specific content type does not result in the editor
being chosen as the default editor? Furthermore it does not show up on the Open with... list unless the file name
is a complete match (registring the editor for just *.xml is not an option as it does not make sense to use it for all
*.xml files)


With hope that someone knows about how plugins should be able to "win" over the generic platform provided editors ;)
