How to set WindowBuilder Editor as default in Eclipse?


Does anyone know how I can set the WindowBuilder Editor as default editor for all (or some) .java files? I love WindowBuilder, but it's "a waste of time" to have to do right click -> Open With -> WindowBuilder Editor... I'm using Eclipse Juno. Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Try if activating Associate WindowBuilder editor with automatically recognized Java GUI files in Window -> Preferences -> WindowBuilder works for you. It is disabled by default.

    Another way would be to always open .java files with the WindowBuilder Editor. You can set this here: Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.
