[#200904100201, jdk1.5.0] Properties default action changed from Edit to Open. We did the revers change for Nb 5.x with negative users feedback and we will receive it again. Try to edit eg: the web.core.syntax/nbproject/project.properties file, the current default editor completely brake the multi-line value formating. Next after feature freeze it is too late for such changes. Please rollback it. I understand that some people needs Open and some needs Edit so I would suggest to implement a feature which will remember latest used open/edit action for given mime-type and this promote to the default action. But stop this never ending changes.
Agree with feature freeze, probably it was not very good decision to make such change at this time. I'll roll it back.
First of all its not P2 since it doesn't break anything. Multiline formatting it is only about good looking properties files and nothing more. Reasons for making Open action as default described in 71885. Rolled back for 6.7. Changeset 29b808798028
