The project we depend on (xtext) uses the underlying IDE concepts of
workspace, project and Resource. I have two options:
a) construct the RCP application using the Navigator and introduce some of
the eclipse-isms into my RCP (workspace,project,resource). Maybe this is
easy and possible, but past version of our RCP application did not use all
these things that is why we are looking for a way to hide them from the
end-user.
b) Hide the eclipse-isms by creating a dummy project and resource behind the
scenes when we open one of the xtext files so the xtext frameowkr behaves
correctly, but we do not need to introduce the navigator and eclipse things
into the product feature set (we just want to open our files using our
simple IPathEditorInput, not create a project, then create/import file, or
import things into workspaces, etc).
Option (b) is a bit more appealing since we already have our XML file that
is essentially a conceptual project and we cannot change this format.
fyi: I already opened a bugzilla report requesting that xtext try and
separate out the IDE concepts in its framework.

I would go for b. I don't know xtext in detail but with the standard
Eclipse SDK you can open external (i.e. not contained in a workspace)
files easily.
