In the Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers 2021-06 M3 (and in 2021-03 and in some previous releases) JavaScript files (*.js) are opened by default (when using a fresh workspace) in the Text Editor instead of the Generic Text Editor. Steps to reproduce: 1. Switch to a fresh workspace 2. Via "File > New > File" create the file "sample.js" Result: "sample.js" is opened in the plain Text Editor which does not provide JavaScript language support. Expected: "sample.js" should be opened in the Generic Text Editor providing JavaScript language support via Eclipse Wild Web Developer. When "sample.js" is created via "File > New > Other...: JavaScript > JavaScript File" the file is opened in the Generic Text Editor as expected. But closing and reopening the file will open it in the Text Editor.
Thanks for the bug report Holger. Not sure where this belongs - four possibilities: - Generic Editor (so Eclipse Platform) - LSP4E - WWD itself - or in the integration of all of it - so here in the EPP Does the Full IDE package WWD provide suffer from this problem: https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper#as-full-ide-package - if so, then I here is a convenient URL to (hopefully) make it easier to refile this bug in WWD: https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/new?title=.js%20files%20opened%20by%20default%20in%20the%20Text%20Editor%20instead%20of%20in%20the%20Generic%20Text%20Editor&body=In%20the%20Eclipse%20IDE%20for%20Enterprise%20Java%20and%20Web%20Developers%202021-06%20M3%20(and%20in%202021-03%20and%20in%20some%20previous%20releases)%20JavaScript%20files%20(*.js)%20are%20opened%20by%20default%20(when%20using%20a%20fresh%20workspace)%20in%20the%20Text%20Editor%20instead%20of%20the%20Generic%20Text%20Editor.%0A%0ASteps%20to%20reproduce%3A%0A1.%20Switch%20to%20a%20fresh%20workspace%0A2.%20Via%20%22File%20%3E%20New%20%3E%20File%22%20create%20the%20file%20%22sample.js%22%0A%0AResult%3A%0A%22sample.js%22%20is%20opened%20in%20the%20plain%20Text%20Editor%20which%20does%20not%20provide%20JavaScript%20language%20support.%0A%0AExpected%3A%0A%22sample.js%22%20should%20be%20opened%20in%20the%20Generic%20Text%20Editor%20providing%20JavaScript%20language%20support%20via%20Eclipse%20Wild%20Web%20Developer.%0A%0AWhen%20%22sample.js%22%20is%20created%20via%20%22File%20%3E%20New%20%3E%20Other...%3A%20JavaScript%20%3E%20JavaScript%20File%22%20the%20file%20is%20opened%20in%20the%20Generic%20Text%20Editor%20as%20expected.%20But%20closing%20and%20reopening%20the%20file%20will%20open%20it%20in%20the%20Text%20Editor.

In eclipseide-wild-web-developer-0.11.6 ("Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers") and in "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" 2021-06 M3 plus the "Wild Web Developer" plugin 0.10.7 .js files are opened with the Generic Text Editor as expected.
In the JEE IDE I see two content types for .js: - Text > JavaScript Source File - Text > Wild Web Developer supported web dev file > JavaScript "Text > JavaScript Source File" has as associated editors "Text Editor" before "Generic Text Editor" which I guess is causing this (maybe by JSDT). I'm going to look into it.
