        Hello @Piyush-Chaudhary,

        npp recognises the language by the file extensions, so if there are any java files which aren’t recognised automatically you need to add those extensions to java language (lang.xml).
        For the new opened documents you can set the default language to java by using
        Settings->Preferences->New Document

        Cheers
        Claudia

          I know that the NPP recognises the lang. by the file ext… & there is no problem with that all. I want to make the .java ext as default while saving any document. Is that possible?
          & that setting-> preferences-> new document method is not working… Please help me, I had got stuck with all time saving as .java …

            For new documents the described procedure works, as long as you don’t change lexer language, but if you want to rename existing documents, then no. Are those files on your computer, maybe in the same directory? What about using

            ren *.txt *.java
            

            Cheers
            Claudia

                  works for me as well - maybe a(nother) clean install will help resolving this.

                  Cheers

                    Maybe it has something to do with this option.

                    Screenshot

                    Do you have that checked or not?
