Description Andre Weinand

2006-07-06 17:42:23 EDT

if I create a new contentType:

	<extension point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
		<content-type
		id="foobar"
          	name="Foo Bar"
          	file-names="FOOBAR"
		priority="normal"/>
	</extension>

it is not automatically available in the File Associations preference page.
For this I have to add it to an Editor contribution as well (which introduces a redundancy).

I forgot to mention that the editor contributions references the contentType id, so filename should (indirectly) apply to the editor as well.

Editor associations, in general, are a bit of a mess.  There is very little harmony between the old associations and content type associations.  Hopefully we can address this in 3.3.
