I associated the .ext extension with Oxygen in Eclipse. Why does an
.ext file opened with the Oxygen plugin not have syntax
highlight?
Associating an extension with Oxygen in Eclipse 3.6+
requires three steps:
-
Associate the .ext extension with the Oxygen plugin.
-
Go to menu .
-
Add *.ext to the list of file types.
-
Select *.ext in the list by clicking on it.
-
Add Oxygen XML Editor to the list of Associated
editors and make it the default editor.
-
Associate the .ext extension with the Oxygen
XML content type.
-
Go to menu .
-
Add *.ext to the File associations list
for the content type.
-
Press the OK button in the Eclipse preferences dialog.
Now when an *.ext file is opened the icon of the editor and the
syntax highlight should be the same as for XML files opened with the Oxygen plugin.
