Bug 15428 Need to allow products to override editor associations
Reported: 2002-05-07 10:51:28 | Status: resolved fixed

For 2.0, we need to allow products to specify which editor should be the default associated with a specific file type. This can be done by using the preference store to specify the order of editor associations. For example, plugin A defines an XML editor. Plugin B defines a better XML editor. The product should be able to say that plugin B's editor gets used instead of A's.
