how to use css editor

[ctang]

I installed the plugin and started eclipse editor.  Then I opened a css file, the editor did not appear to recognize css file and did not treat it differently.  I then configured the css editor to show line number, it did not show line.  Did I missing something?  How to make eclipse recognize css file?

Thanks!

Forgot to mention, I am running eclipse-3.0M6 on win2000.

Maybe the file is already associated with the default text editor.

Can you select "Open with > CSS Editor" from the context menu of the file and see if that helps. You may also want to check the eclipse file associated (under Prefereces > Workbench) to see what editor is associated with CSS files by default.

Cheers,
Chris

css is mapped to Microsoft FrontPage by window.  There is no file association defined in eclipse for it.   When I tried to add one, I cannot find the plugin in the available internal editors.  What editor to associate css file with?

Thanks!

Hmm, there should be a mapping for *.css files to the "CSS Editor" by default. If it isn't, something is seriously wrong.

Does the CSS editor plugin appear in "Help > Eclipse Platform > Plug-in Details"? Any error messages in workspace/.metadata/.log?

Yes, it appears in "Help > Eclipse Platform > Plug-in Details". 

I found  an exception in log file.

After installed M7, it works fine.
