Description Jesse Glick 2011-09-30 16:26:24 UTC 
20110929-99f6dbaa0c84. When settings.xml is opened, only a History tab is displayed, no Source tab. Other XML files appear OK.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2011-09-30 16:30:28 UTC 
Regression since the beta. I am guessing the fix of bug #202429 is responsible.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2011-09-30 16:33:30 UTC 
Note that settings.xml has a MIME type of text/x-maven-settings+xml, but there is no dedicated DataObject subclass; none is needed. (All special functions are handled by MIME-based editor registrations.) Compare POMDataObject, which is needed to create an editor with a custom messageName.
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2011-09-30 17:37:35 UTC 
Already discovered independently as #202766. I made a compatible provision for DataObject-less (using XMLDO) files - if no specific source editor multiview is discovered, the old behaviour with just the source text editor is used.

I didn't discover a way how to make a 'fallback' entry in the Lookup and don't want to mess with MimeLookup internals before release. Suggestions are welcome.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 202766 ***
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2011-09-30 17:56:48 UTC 
OK I think. I already pushed core-main #e5e277bfee50 as a hot fix (since I expected you would not still be at work) which just registers the multiview editor for settings.xml. This appears to work; I hope that will interact cleanly with web-main #b84777833e9e. Review would be appreciated.
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2011-09-30 18:32:30 UTC 
please change the preferredID to "xml.text" so XMLDO recognizes the MultiviewDescription as 'source text'.

Log: #202900 workaround (broken settings.xml display).
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2011-10-13 19:10:27 UTC 
This is still not working properly in dev builds. ~/.m2/settings.xml source is displayed with no history tab; also, Ctrl-S sometimes does not work (not sure how to reproduce).

Log: Missed bug #202900 comment #5 before. Now Local History tab and Save work for settings.xml.
