| <context><p>You can associate certain editors with a file type by clicking | |

| <uicontrol>General</uicontrol><uicontrol>Editors</uicontrol><uicontrol>File | |
| Association</uicontrol></menucascade> and setting up the associations in the | |
| File Associations Window.</p><p>Some Eclipse-based editors, however, will | |
| only recognize a file based on the contents of the file. Consequently, if | |
| you want to associate an additional file type with some editors, you may have | |
| to first map the content type with its file extension. To map a content type | |
| with a file extension, complete the following steps: </p><ol> | |
| <li>Click <menucascade><uicontrol>Window</uicontrol><uicontrol>General</uicontrol> | |
| <uicontrol>Content Types</uicontrol></menucascade>. The Content Type window | |
| appears. </li> | |
| <li>Select a content type in the Content Type window, and then select <b>Add</b> . | |
| The Define a New File Type window appears.</li> | |
| <li>Type the name of the file type, and then click <b>OK</b>.</li> | |
