Hello, I'm playing around with plugins.

Indigo (3.7.2) on OpenSolaris x86 +GTK.

The New Project wizard provides for the creation of a new editor plugin; however, the plugin does not work owing to a run-time error.

In org.eclipse.ui.ide.FileStoreEditorInputFactory (78), a new FileStoreEditorInput object is created. However, org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.StorageDocumentProvider (409) returns null because a FileStoreEditorInput does not implement IStorageEditorInput.

It's easy to see that that is the problem but I don't know enough about the plugin to know how to fix it. I don't really want to become an expert on plugin architecture as that is peripheral to my main task.

Any ideas on where to start to work out what is supposed to be going on here ?

Thanks, Michael.

Which wizard did you choose? Please provide more details.

File / New / Plug-in Project, dialog appears.

Enter project name and click the Next button.

Enter provider name and click the Next button.

Check 'Create a plug-in using one of the templates' and click 'Plug-in with an editor'. Click the Next button.

Click the Finish button.

That works fine for me using 3.8 or 4.2 RC4.

The creation works fine for me as well but do the plug-ins run correctly on 3.8 and 4.2RC4 ?

In plugin.xml, plugin/extension/editor/extensions="exml" and I copied an xml file to something.exml and opened it via File / Open File.

[Later] The problem was that I was using File / Open File ... to open a file outside the workspace. This creates a FileStoreEditorInput object which the wizard code doesn't handle properly. If you open a file inside another project, it works fine. Evil or Very Mad

Yes, it works fine. But keep in mind that this is only a very simple
editor example which can only open files that are located inside a project.
