Getting started

Once installed, the Color Editor becomes the default editor for all supported file types. You can control it by selecting a file in Package Explorer view, or in the Navigator view, right-click on it and select "Open With".
Colors can be selected in the Coloring Editor -> Colors preference section, in the Windows -> Preferences. It is also possible to define how tabs are handled.
File associations (selecting which editor opens each file type) can be controled in the General -> Editors -> File Associations preference section.
