Getting underlying file location from IEditorPart [message #134732]

I'm writing a little changelog plug-in that basically implements
IEditorActionDelegate.

It's been going well, I capture the event, determine function under
cursor, but I'm having trouble identifying the file location that the
current IEditorPart represents.

I can get the filename by looking at getTitle() but I need to know the
location (ie /src/foo/barr/foobar.c) so I can write the changelog entry
to the right directory/changelog.

Is there anyway to determine the actual file location from IEditorPart?
I thought getEditorSite() looked promising, but no luck there.

Use the IEditorInput. You will need to do an instance test to see if the
input is an IPathEditorInput (for Eclipse 3.0 only) and if it is then
use getPath() against it. The reason you have to test is because editor
don't necessarily have to work with files, so it was generalized up to
IEditorInput.
