[android-developers] Re: Eclipse, ADT and opening XML files

I'm seeing this behaviour as well. I just had a disk crash and had
to reinstall all of Eclipse and the Android SDK.

Previously I was running Eclipse Helios with the latest Android SDK
and latest ADT (r14). All XML files opened automatically with the
appropriate Android XML helper/editor.

This morning I reinstalled (not the OS, just the dev bits) and put on
Eclipse Indigo along with the same SDK and ADT versions (new installs,
but same versions). Now the XML files only open with the default
Eclipse XML editor. The right-click, open with.. part will open them
with the ADT helpers.

This is also on Windows 7 x64. The new (broken?) behaviour has
persisted across reimporting the project and reinstalling the ADT.

Does anyone know of a switch that can be set or preferences to tweak
or anything that will provide the correct behaviour? I'm wondering if
the behaviour will return if I reinstall Helios but I'm not quite
ready to do that.
