Rational Software Development Platform will apply when it is not possible to use Eclipse.

How to open HTPL file?

The most common problem when using IBM Rational Application Developer WebContent Theme is that a specific HTPL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HTPL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HTPL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Eclipse

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Eclipse is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Eclipse into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HTPL with Eclipse. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HTPL files.

Programs to open HTPL file

Remember to download programs supporting HTPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with HTPL files

If, despite the installed application, the HTPL file does not start in the Eclipse application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HTPL file with the Eclipse program.

Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version

If, however, after binding Eclipse with IBM Rational Application Developer WebContent Theme there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Eclipse Foundation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HTPL file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The HTPL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HTPL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HTPL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HTPL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HTPL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HTPL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HTPL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HTPL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HTPL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
