The missing step is registration of the text.xml scope with org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml content type.

I will push a trivial change that allows this feature in a moment.
With https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/1659 implemented (see https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.31/platform.php#default_editor_preference) I miss only one "thing" to automatically show xml syntax with textmate for files that do not have "well known" xml suffix but have xml content type, like
.classpath
,.project
etc.The missing step is registration of the
text.xml
scope withorg.eclipse.core.runtime.xml
content type. If done that, one can get something like below "for free" after simple preference change in Eclipse:I will push a trivial change that allows this feature in a moment.
