Currently eclipse only supports wildcard prefixes for content types and file associations (e.g *.xml).  It needs to be able to handle wildcard suffixes as well so if you have a file format that has a fixed prefix but not suffix you can add it as a content type or file association (e.g. Makefile.*).

The best (if implementation would be possible) would be to check filenames by the standard regex pattern(s) to define associations. This would allow for all the imaginable combinations to get configured properly. Upvoting the solution.

Just for reference, this would solve bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=292229 too.
