Hello, It seems an Eclipse problem that the Ant editor is not listed on the Open with ... submenu on build_x.xml files as the Ant plugin is registered for the *.xml file type. I checked that in Preferences -> General -> Content Types. Also changing the priority attribute from "normal" to "high" on the content type extension contributed by Ant in the Ant plugin descriptor file did not change anything on the Open with ... submenu although it works for other plugins. The only solution that I could find was to add each build_x.xml file in the File associations list of the Ant plugin defined in Preferences -> General -> Content Types, just like Ant already does by default for the build.xml file.

In the DITA Open Toolkit there are lots of Ant scripts named "build_xxx.xml". For some reason, Eclipse only shows Oxygen and the built-in text editor when I do an "Open with..." on one of those files. Within content types, the "Ant buildfile" is associated with *.xml and likewise, under File associations, *.xml is associated with both the Ant editor and Oxygen.
So I can't figure out why Eclipse doesn't provide the Ant editor as an option for Open with...
While Oxygen is lovely it is not the best editor editing Ant files...
Cheers,
Eliot
