Hi,

first thanks for taking the time to write an answer. But I cannot relate the words of your answer to anything I know of Eclipse (having just some weeks of experience with Eclipse plugin development):

When pressing the run button with a selected 'benerator.xml' file, it displays a dialog titled 'Run As' and the message 'Select a way to run 'benerator.xml', showing a list of two ways to launch and a Description area. No 'run ... as default' option. Are we referring to different Eclipse versions (mine is Europa) or different dialogs?

What do you mean with 'the "preference" has recorded default launch mode'? Is there some location to register/record a default launch mode for a file? I suppose that's not a matter of some preference page!?
