Description
A quick search seems to show that the Eclipse Marketplace might use a special "tag" convention, e.g fileExtension_xml registers a feature as supporting .xml files.
E.g. it looks like the core platform entry:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-enterprise-java-and-web-developer-tools
has a bunch of these tags. (I haven't confirmed BTW in "doc" that this is indeed the purpose of this tag "convention").
So while it'd seem like something to investigate one can also quickly realize we don't "own" a particular extension (like .xml ) We have server.xml...could we associate with the whole filename and not just the "extension"? Not sure.. we'd have to investigate if Eclipse Marketplace helps us any here.

Research direction
Start by checking the Eclipse Marketplace documentation for the tag convention and the Liberty Tools Eclipse marketplace entry. Verify whether tags can identify a full filename such as server.xml rather than only an extension. Done means a documented decision on whether this improves discoverability and, if supported, a clearly defined association.
