Re: [sca-assembly-comment] .composite extension for composite file is overly constraining

[Jim Marino <jim.marino@gmail.com>]

Anish,

One thing you may want to check is associating an XML MIME media type  
with the composite file. My development tool (IDEA IntelliJ) can be  
configured to recognize composite files as XML documents allowing me  
to use its built-in XML refactoring capabilities such as syncing  
referenced Java class names with source code. I'm not sure about other  
tools, but I believe Eclipse should be able to do this too.
