Hi All,
I have this scenario wherein I have created a plugin for an XML editor. So,
I have defined an extension in my plugin.xml file.
This means that when I right-click on a '.xml' file in my Navigator I get
the defined editor in the 'Open With' menu.
I have another plugin wherein I allow the user to choose XML files from the
workspace or the file-system. The user can view the contents of the file by
pressing an 'Open' button which launches my XML editor.
Now, what I need to do is to allow the user the ability to view the contents
of the file in the XML editor. However, I do not want to have the editor
appearing in the 'Open With' menu.
Is this possible? If yes then any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Prashanto
