Hi

Trying to get eclipse to open up xml files when I click on them in
Windows explorer.... File association looks fine, even tried to
associate to java -jar plugin %1, but no joy.

Whatever I do, eclipse just opens a blank project. Any ideas?

TIA
Shaun

Eclipse doesn't really work that way. It normally only edits files that
are part of the projects it currently has open and I don't think it
accepts files to edit on the command line.

Have you tried opening the XML file from within Eclipse?
