The Configure File Associations dialog box displays when you first launch JBuilder. If you associate all the file types at that time, it doesn't display again unless file associations change. You can also choose Tools|Configure File Associations to open this dialog box. If you don't want to register any of the file types, you can uncheck them and click OK or click Cancel.
A file association specifies that an executable knows how to handle a given file type. If there is a running instance of JBuilder, it is used; otherwise, JBuilder is launched.
File association support varies by platform.
There are several similar operations that specify both the file to be processed and the executable to do the processing. These don't usually require file associations and therefore follow different rules:
Select the file types you'd like to associate with JBuilder.
Register any of these file types:
.class
). This association will decompile the class file and display it in the editor..java
). This association will open the file in the editor, but won't add the file to the project..jpr
, .jpx
). This association will open the project.If you change the association of the file types after registering them, this dialog box displays again when JBuilder launches, giving you an opportunity to register them again.
