Description Lachlan Macpherson CLA 2002-03-06 07:13:29 EST 
It would be good to have eclipse as the default Windows editor for JAVA files. 
I.E. Whenever a .java file is double clicked in the Windows Explorer, it should 
be opened with eclipse.

It gets tricky when the Java file you open isn't in a project inside the 
workspace. You will not get any Java behaviour in this case.

To enable this would require a command line option for defining the file to be 
opened inside eclipse. Moving to Platform UI
