I have a content type defined in Eclipse using a content describer.
This type uses the .xml extension, but is a specialization of XML. I
have noticed that when the file that matches my content type is a
workspace file, my editor is correctly invoked. But when I open the
file from the file system, using File > Open File..., the default XML
editor is opened. What do I need to do so that in that scenario, it
will still identify the file as being of my content type.
Apparently the Ant editor has the same problem. Try this to see what I
mean:
1. create an Ant build file in the workspace.
2. double click to open the file and the Ant file editor is correctly
invoked
3. export the file to the file system
4. open the external file using File > Open File...
5. observe that the XML editor is used to display the file, not the Ant
editor
Thanks in advance for any help...

David,
There was a bugzilla open requesting this.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98002
I've voted for it and maybe I'll have some time to help implement it.
