Associate XML files with the Eclipse XML editor

Every time I double-click on an XML file, a spreadsheet thing opens. I find it very annoying, and I have to open XML files with the text editor in Eclipse. It is not color-coded like its counterpart in Dreamweaver.

How can I configure my computer so that, when I double-click on an XML file, I get a color-coded editor in Eclipse?

Have you checked the bottom of the editor pane for tabs labelled Design and Source? Maybe you just need to flip to another page in the editor.

Go to Window -> Preferences and then type in File Associations in the quick search box on the left, browse for the *.xml file type and mark as default the editor you want to use to open the file.

Try setting the file associations in the Eclipse settings > General > Editors > File associations
