[full trunk build from deadlock, #4726, built from changeset ffab019a785c] 1. Start the IDE 2. Using File/Open File... open a .java or .cpp file - it is opened as a plain text, not as a correct type 3. Enable Java a C/C++ plugins - the opened editors are closed 4. After opening the files again, they are recognized correctly Requiring the user to manually enable some plugin (or open a project of a given type) seems like a very bad user experience.
True. This functionality is missing. We are tracking it. Just according to UI spec, open file and favorites are considered P3 entry point. See: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FitnessForeverUISpec
