Opening a file in Eclipse's Project Explorer with a double click opens the file in the built-in editor but does not transfer the focus to the file for immediate editing. Instead the focus remains in the Project Explorer and a further click in the editor window or tab is required before editing or moving around the document. I guess this is by design but I am hoping there is an option or workaround of some kind. Thanks.

I like using Eclipse to open up certain text-based files that are huge - 140MB - because unlike notepad++, Eclipse can open larger files.
With notepad++, I could drag-drop a file into an open instance and it'd open it. With Eclipse, whether I do File>Open file or drag-drop, it still pops-open the Windows 10 Please select an application to open the file-type
QUESTION
How can I force Eclipse to open them even if they are registered to be opened by another application?
You can select the editor to open files in with a right click.
Text Editor is eclipse, System Editor is whatever your OS chooses.
I believe default editor is what eclipse chooses based on the extension (Text editor vs. System Editor)
I've installed the plugin for Eclipse Luna: EclipseFP - http://eclipsefp.sf.net/updates . Its Works, but the IDE is not marking the reserved words.
That looks like you are actually using the normal text editor.
Close the file and then right click on the file in Project Explorer and choose 'Open With...' and select the Haskell editor.
Eclipse remembers the last editor you used to open a file so if you had opened this file before installing the plug-in you will get the plain text editor. Once you have opened the file with the correct editor it will use that editor by default in future.
We recently upgraded our copies of Sublime. Problem is now our developers that use eclipse are having trouble opening java files. It seems that Eclipse has for one reason or another decided that half of the java files should be opened with "Java Editor" (when you right click and go to Open With) and the other half should open in "System Default" which as it turns out, is Sublime.
Where is the button I press to reset this stupid thing so Eclipse will open java files in Eclipse?
Eclipse "remembers" when files were "Open with"-ed with a certain Viewer and opens that file always with that Viewer from than on (it gets highlighted in the Options list and overrides the file-association).
You could try to change it back to the default by choosing "Default Editor" in the "Open with" context menu option in Project Explorer for each file that behaves strange.
The default editor for a file type can be set through Window>Preferences>General>Editors>File Associations. If multiple editors are set for .java and it's bugging out then possibly removing all editors except the default will help.
I've installed Eclipse Debugger Plugin for v8.
When a Javascript file is brought up from the remote connection, it has a .chromium extension.
Acutal color scheme for *.chromium files is not ideal but I haven't been able to figure out how to change it.
I went into Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations and changed *.chromium file association from "JS Editor" to "JavaScript Editor" (used for .js files edition, and having the color scheme I want.)
However making this change had no effect.
I have the "Eclipse Color Theme" add-on installed and am using Eclipse version 4.2.1.M20120914-1800 running on windows 7.
Once I right clicked on one of the .chromium files and selected "Open With->JavaScript Editor" that file came up with the same editor as the js files. Doing this once must have fixed something in eclipse because now subsequently all .chromium files open up with the other editor.
somehow I've ended up in a situation such that when I navigate through source files with Eclipse, the Eclipse always selects (and expands) the opened file with package explorer. With this I end up
losing my location on Package Explorer
Having my Package explorer expanded and pretty confusing.
With brief googling/exploring on the preferences I couldn't find this one..
Eclipse version is 3.4 if that happens to matter.
Thanks in advance,
Touko
Turn off the "Link with Editor" option in the Package Explorer toolbar.
(the left/right arrow icon, turned on here)
Select a source file, right click on it, choose "Open with" and then "Java Editor". The Java Editor should be the default after that for all java files.
