When I copy the properties editor files into the plugins
directory I find multiple entries of the default editor listed
for properties files.

I am using:
Win2K
Eclipse 2.1.1
Before I install the properties editor plug-in there is
only one entry for the default properties editor in
Eclipse (I confirm it by going to Preferences->File
Associations and selecting *.properties).

As soon as I install the net.sourceforge.
propertieseditor_0.0.1 plug-in two entries appear
under Preferences->File Associations for *.properties.

    Dear Carlos!

    Eclipse provides a Properties Editor (labeled as "Properties
    Editor") of its own with the Java Development Tools (JDT).
    This is the default Editor for .properties files. It's
    defined in the "org.eclipse.jdt.ui"-Plugin.

    The Properties Editor Plugin provides a Properties of it's
    own as well, labeled "Properties Editor (colored)". So there
    are two Editors under the "File Associations" preferences.
    If you want to use the Editor provided by our Package by
    default, select it and click the "Default" button.

    Having both plugins doesn't make any difference because just
    the default plugin is loaded when you open a .properties
    file. If you don't want the other Properties Editor to be
    displayed you can simply remove it from the "Associated
    Editors" list in the "File Associations" prefernces page.

    Best regards,

    Manuel

    I obviously did not describe the problem properly. After
    installing your properties editor the default eclipse editor
    appears twice and then yours for a total of 3 editor entries.
    There should only be two.

    Well, this kind of behavior is definetly not the one
    expected. I'm using the same configuration as you do but
    can't reproduce the problem you describe. Which Java version
    do you use?

    I opened the bug again and hope we can figure out soon where
    the problem is.

    After reading your description again I think you described
    well and I misunderstood. So my mistake, sorry for that!

    Best regards,

    Manuel
