I’m using Eclipse 3.0.1 and MyEclipse 3.8.2.

I assoiated a file type/extension with the HTML editor. However, when I try to use the
HTML templates ( Ctrl+Space ) I get the XML templates.

I tried it in a test HTML file (.html) and it works fine.

Right click on the file you are trying to open, choose “Open with” and select “MyEclipse HTML Editor”, just because you associate an editor with a file type doesn’t mean it will be the default to open that file (unless you set that), so it might just be opening it (still) with the XML Editor.

still happens. the choices are
MyEclipse HTML Editor (with a check mark preceeding it)
Text Editor
System Editor
Default Editor

out curiousity I tried opening an XML file, both by double clicking and right-clicking. Used the MyEclipse XML Editor both times,
which definitely isn’t the editor that gets used in the problem mentioned above.

What extension did you associated with the HTML editor? And when you say “I get the XML templates”, what XML Templates are you referring to?

[rlsaul]

The extension is .cqs, but that doesn’t seem to matter. I created another file extension
association, *.abc, for the MyEclipse HTML Editor and created the file test.abc. Same
problem shows up.

And by XML templates I mean the pop-up that appears after typing Ctrl-Space contains the choices set up via the XML Templates
in Preferences. To double check it I even added one and sure enough it showed up when I returned to the editor and typed
Ctrl-Space.

Just to clarify, the bug you are seeing has been filed, but you are still getting valid HTML autocomplete correct, just not the HTML templates right?

[rlsaul]

Yes, the HTML autoconplete functioanlity has been behaving as expected. It’s just the HTML templates that are not.

Thanks for your time.
