If I go to Servers view and right-click my server, then select Open Log Files -> Current Message Log File it always opens with the internal Eclipse Text Editor.
Is there a way to configure to open it with "System Editor"?
It seems like just using the File Associations preference isn't enough because somehow it is "locked" as a Content Type of Runtime log files.
Not sure where to go from here.
I realize there's a nice aspect to having Eclipse open it in avoiding open file handles, which can get in the way of deleting/renaming this file which happens as part of normal server operation.
But is this possible? Thanks.
Go to File Associations and create a content type of *.log. You will notice this has a locked default text editor, but you can add another and make that the default. Go to Add... at the bottom next to the Associated editors, click External programs, and pick the editor of your choice. Then, click on this new entry under Associated editors and click Default.
