It sounds as if you turn that blog post into less than what it claims to be. It is as if
you say that is only about association a ".java application" with Ecplipse.
But in fact the post says: «Although this demonstrates using .java files, you
can do the same for any other file type; as long as your installation of
Eclipse has an editor to handle that file type, it should work just fine.»
Sure. And that's exactly what I have understood after reading this blog
page.
As I hinted above: I do disagree (in fact: not only strongly, but
completely disagree) with what you say here. In fact, the screenshots
inside list-item 3 and list-item 4 of that blog post displays /exactly/
the OSX/macOS feature with which I would expect to be able associate
e.g. "foo.xhtml" files with XMLmind XML Editor. So if XMLmind XML Edit
implement exactly what Eclipse, according to this blog post, already
does, then I would consider the bug I have reported to be solved.
The association of ".xhtml" files with XMLmind XML Editor works fine as
explained in the blog page and XMLmind XML Editor is indeed started when
the user double-clicks on a ".xhtml" file. (I've tested that several
times during the last few months.)
The problem is that the ".xhtml" file clicked upon is NOT opened in
XMLmind XML Editor. (that is, XMLmind XML Editor is just started or
brought to front.) Why? Because of this bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043852
We have spent a fair amount of time trying to solve this very annoying
problem and failed to find any workaround for this Java bug. I really
don't see what I could add to that.
