RFE - Eclipse PlugIn - Associate .res files with GUI Builder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Add the GUI Builder as a viewer for .res files.  Eclipse will open it as a 
binary file in a text editor otherwise when you double click it.

Chen was having some issues with that. I think we need to associate res files 
in the OS level with the designer in order for this to work.
There is an action to open the designer in the right click menu.

Shouldn't need the OS level associations, I just tested myself by making the 
changes by hand:

1) In Eclipse, click Window, Preferences, type 'Association'
2) Add a file type of .res
3) Add the Gui Builder as an Editor.  Here I needed to make a script to launch 
the Gui Builder because Eclipse complained that it was a jar file.

Now when I double click the resource file, right-click - Open With, designer is 
the default editor.

Almost there, but a new critical error that I don't think is related to this 
issue, will file separately, I believe this issue itself can be closed.
