how do i get eclipse to interpret .ejs files as .html?

Question

i recently started on a node project and two of the modules i\'m using is express and EJS. but default i usually use eclipse as my IDE, it works well for java and decent for htm

Answer 1

For me, the best way has been:

Windows > Preferences > General > Content types

In window Content types i've selected Text > HTML

and window File associations click Add... and i've included *.ejs

Answer 2

For a specific file, try right-click, Open With -> Other... -> HTML editor. You can also set the file association globally under Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.

On a Mac, the global setting is under Mac Option -> Preferences and all the same options.

Answer 3

As an addendum to rlegendi's answer, if you'd also like the proper html coloring, you need to go to "Content Types" (right above "Editors" in the Preferences). From here, select Text -> HTML and click on "Add..", including .ejs
