Hello,

I want to open a Java Editor with a given file. But I only got an
Default Text Editor. How can I get the Java Editor ID?

I am doing this:
if (workspaceResource instanceof IFile) {
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
return null != page.openEditor(new FileEditorInput(
(IFile) workspaceResource), "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");
}

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

as you precise to open with "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor", that is normal that it is open with default text editor...

Several solutions :
- IDE.openEditor(...)
- page.openEditor but with the correct id of the java editor (which is
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor, thanks to plugin spy)

Regards,
