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

I appeared to have fixed although I'm not sure exactly why.

I closed all the projects in the workspace. Then I uninstalled any
ADT components. After the Eclipse restart, I removed the ADT software
source from the list of sources, exited out of all the dialogs, and
added it back again (mostly just paranoia here I'm thinking). I then
went back in to add software and added all the available ADT
components at once.

After a restart and reopening the project, the XML now opens in the
appropriate ADT editor.
