Try adding the *.java file type.

Hi,
From the Eclipse Workbench User Guide:
Associating editors with file types
To associate editors with various file types in the Workbench:
1. Open the
General > Editors > File Associations
preference page.
2. Select the file type from the File types list, or click Add to add a type
that is not already on the list.
3. In the Associated editors list, select the editor that you want to associate
with that file type. To add an editor to the list:
a. Click Add. The Editor Selection dialog box opens.
b. Select Internal Editors or External Programs, depending on whether the
editor that you want was built for the Workbench or runs outside the Workbench.
c. If you select External Programs, you can click the Browse button to browse
the file system.
d. Select the editor from the list and click OK.
4. Click OK to finish associating the editor with the selected file type.
Tip: You can choose to override your default editor selections by selecting
Open With from the pop-up menu for any resource in one of the navigation views.
Jim

Jim H. and John:
What Jim H. is proposing by adding *.java to the Preferences File Association
isn't possible. By default the *.java extension for the Java and Text editors
are locked by the "Java Source File Content Type" and can not be added.
Since Eclipse is a full blown IDE, launching the IDE by merely double clicking
a file with an extension of *.java makes no sense. Where would it be placed in
a source folder?
