If I explicitly open a file in the JSP editor, I would expect the file to be treated as JSP contents no matter what the extension (seems to be a valid user case since I am explicitly invoking a chosen editor on the file).  In this case, I open a file with an XML extension (that is a valid JSP file) and the Java syntax highlighting, JSP syntax highlighting, and features such as code completion do not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Take a JSP file and change .jsp extension to .xml
2.  Right-click on file in Eclipse and use Open With > JSP Editor
3.  File is not treated as JSP contents.

I'm resolving this as a duplicate of Bug 320996 largely because the idea is the same. We're not opening a file with the explicitly chosen editor. It just happens to be the case here that XML has a defined content type. But, the end fix should result in the appropriate solution for this bug as well.
