It is probably hard-coded in the RSE plugin.  My point was that it makes 
sense that it cannot necessarily just use the Eclipse file associations. 
For example, if I have the Eclipse C editor defined to edit C, that is all 
well and good except that editor is not capable of downloading the source 
nor can it handle the 12-digits of sequence and date that RSE brings down 
with the source.  So I would expect RSE to be intelligent enough to use 
JLpex when I am using RSE, and Eclipse to be intelligent enough to use its 
C editor on local projects that are not iSeries.

It would be "nice" if RSE had its own preferences that let you set the 
default based on source type, but it appears that it does not.
