Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to submit these requests, forgive me if not.

I found myself coding a rather big JS file with a .php extension (the server .htaccess rewrites the .js request to address the .php file). I think this is quite common for js and css files which need to have some dynamically-generated content.

Well, I miss the feature to "fool" eclipse and tell it that it's actually a js file, and that it should be highlighted following the js syntax rules. In other words, I think that a "Highlight file as... (php, js, etc...)" option would come very handy in some cases.

Thanks!
