This extension point is used to define mappings between file types and document providers or between types of editor inputs and document providers that can be used by editors. Document providers must implement the interface <samp>org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.IDocumentProvider</samp>. Editor inputs must be instance of <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput</samp>. a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point an optional identifier of the extension instance an optional name of the extension instance a comma separated list of file extensions a comma separated list of qualified editor input class names the qualified name of the document provider class the unique id of this provider 3.0 (originally named org.eclipse.ui.documentProviders) <pre> <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.documentProviders"> <provider extensions=".jav" class="org.eclipse.ui.examples.javaeditor.JavaDocumentProvider" id="org.eclipse.ui.examples.javaeditor.JavaDocumentProvider"> </provider> </extension> </pre> <p> This example registers <samp>org.eclipse.ui.examples.javaeditor.JavaDocumentProvider</samp> as the default provider for files with the extension ".jav". <p> <pre> <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.documentProviders"> <provider inputTypes="org.eclipse.ui.IStorageEditorInput" class="org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.FileDocumentProvider" id="org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.FileDocumentProvider"> </provider> </extension> </pre> </p> This example registers <samp>org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.FileDocumentProvider</samp> as the default provider for all editor inputs that are <samp>instance of org.eclipse.ui.IStorageEditorInput</samp>. Document providers registered for a file extension have precedence over those registered for input types. Document providers must implement the interface <samp>org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.IDocumentProvider</samp>. Editor inputs must be instance of <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput</samp>.
