You want to add an entry in the Preferences for General->Editors->File Associations.

there is an entry in the eclipse preferences that associates file types with editors. You select your file type (e.g *.html) and assign it one of your installed editors.

On Mac OS, the preference you want is: Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.
