How to open HXP file?

The main problem with HaXe Project is that the HXP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HXP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HXP 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Eclipse application 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 HXP with Eclipse. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HXP files.

Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with HXP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HXP file to open in the Eclipse application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Eclipse application as the default for handling the HXP file.

Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version

If, however, after binding Eclipse with HaXe Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The Eclipse Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HXP 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HXP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HXP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HXP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HXP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HXP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Haxe.org
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HXP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HXP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HXP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HXP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
