In addition to:

"even though I have SlickEdit set as the default editor, when I right click on 
a php file and do Open With, it still shows "PHP Editor"  selected"

The same is true if you just set the normal Eclipse Text Editor to be the 
default editor for php.

Kind Regards,

Subject: plugin integration problem with pdt - changing editor assocation

I am working with PDT 2.1.0 in Eclipse 3.5 M6.  We (SlickEdit) make an editor 
plug-in for Eclipse and are currently trying to get better integration with 
PDT, particularly with debugging capabilities: mainly setting breakpoints and 
stepping through code.  The issue is that when a debug session is started and 
the debugger stops at a breakpoint, Eclipse wants to open a PDT editor, not a 
SlickEdit editor.  I have integrated our plug-in with several other language 
support plug-ins for Eclipse (Flex Builder, CDT, etc.) and have never had a 
problem as such.  My hunch is that it has something to do with how the editor 
is defined, but I'm not sure...I'll keep looking.  Hopefully this can shed some 
light on the problem, you might have a better idea than I:

I certainly have SlickEdit set as the default editor for *.php 
(phpfileassoc.png).  The reason why I think the problem might have something to 
do with how the editor is defined (and not something implemented in the 
debugger) is because even though I have SlickEdit set as the default editor, 
when I right click on a php file and do Open With, it still shows "PHP Editor"  
selected (phpopenwith.png).  Other editor plug-ins do not have this behavior 
(try it with JDT and a Java file).

I have a breakpoint set in the SlickEdit editor (phpbp.png), and when I launch 
my website debug the breakpoint is hit, but a PDT editor is popped open, 
instead of going to the already open SlickEdit editor (phpeditor.png).  Also it 
seems confused...note that it has an SE icon at the top, but it's clearly the 
PDT editor (?).

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in tracking this down.  PDT is 
a fantastic project and I think improved integration with SlickEdit will help 
expand both our user bases.
