Hi All, Is there a way that I can associate Eclipse with the file extension .java in Windows? It would be very handy to dbl click a source file and have it load Eclipse (or appear in Eclipse if already loaded). Is there any reason for not doing this? Many thanks, Fintan

Fintan What you need to do is open up an explorer window. Click the tools menu, then select 'folder options'. When the window opens up select the 'file types' tab. On that tab scroll down until you find java in the list, select it, and click 'change'. You'll have to browse to find eclipse but once you do just double click the eclipse exe file and everytime you open a .java file it'll open in eclipse. If java is not already listed in your list of file types just click new to add it. Hope that helps

Doesn't work that way, but I wrote a plug-in that lets you do it. See the Fileopen plug-in at www.eclipsepowered.org > Download area.
