While in the C/C++ perspective, go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations. All C/C++ related file types are missing
The File Associations page only deals with Editor - File Name/Extension relationships and does not define "File Types". If you look at the Content Types page you will find all C/C++ file types.
Right, the C/C++ File Name/Extension relationships are missing in CDT 7, how is the user supposed to specify which editor opens a *.c type of file? Please see the attached screenshot for a side by side difference between CDT 7 and CDT 5.
Created attachment 171659 [details] CDT 7 vs CDT 5
(Both preference pages were opened while in the C/C++ perspective).
And from what Toni said the editor is associated with certain extensions and no longer defines file types: Window > Preferences > General > Content Types The user isn't supposed to specify which editor opens a C file, the CDT editor opens the C file, just like the JDT editor opens a java file. If you look at your screenshot, you don't see *.java either even though you have JDT / PDE installed...
(In reply to comment #3) > Created an attachment (id=171659) [details] > CDT 7 vs CDT 5 Just follow the link on the top of the preference page where it says: See 'Content Types' for content-type based file associations.
