For some reason, my client wants to make the *.ui.xml files to open with
a custom editor. But I found that it's no use to config it in the
org.eclipse.ui.editors extention.

I noticed the bug22905's status is still "new". Is there some other way
to achieve what I want?

You could define a new content type and hook up your editor to it.

But how? A content type can only define file-extensions and file-names,
but it seems no use to give it "double-extension"(like filenames xx.a.b).

Read the extension point doc again with focus on content describer.

The describer can only get the inputstream, but my files are the same
with normal xml-files, except the file-name.

The API is:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.IContentDescriber.describe( InputStream,
IContentDescription)

and it allows to set properties on the content description, doesn't it?

AFAIK, that is not possible. However, as Dani said, you can use the
contentTypes extension point. Since your files are XML, you can set the
content type with the root element of your XML:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
<content-type
id="yourXmlTypeId"
name="Some Name"
priority="normal">
<describer
class=" org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescri ber ">
<parameter
name="element"
value="your_root_element">
</parameter>
</describer>
</content-type>
</extension>


Now you can associate this content type with your editor. HTH

Well, this seems not what I want...

Our XML's have nothing in common, no common root's, no common schema...

But thank you all the same. Maybe we can persuade our clients to create
a common schema
for the XML...
