.CONTAINER File

The container file extension is associated with the Eclipse, an integrated development environment for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.

The container file stores settings of programming project created in Eclipse and other development tools based on Eclipse project.

How to open:

The container files are used for internal purposes of Eclipse. However, container file is stored in simple text format and it is viewable in any text editor.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .container file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
