Make eclipse pdt default editor for php, css etc. files in ubuntu 12.04?

I downloaded Eclipse php recently. When i want to open a css or php file it doesn't show option for eclipse, not even in the other applications list.

I want to set Eclipse as my default editor to handle such kind of files.

Solution

  • I posted this question more than a month ago and i have found an answer to it, Here is the eclipse.desktop file which needs to be added in the /usr/share/applications directory

    [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=eclipse %f
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

    Adding %f after 'eclipse' added eclipse in the list of 'other applications' and then i 'set it as default' for css files.
