Hi!
i want to change my JavaFileEditorInput references on my code (because it
has discouraged access). I have read that i should change it for
IEditorInput. Is that correct?
Do I have to make my own editor or there is already one already created?
Thanks!

For IFiles, there's already a FileEditorInput that's public API (in
org.eclipse.ui.ide)

Thanks for your reply
I did this, but the FileEditorInput needs an IFile and with
" org.eclipse.core.filesystem.EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStor e(path) "
I get a IFileStore...
is there any way to get an IFile from the filesystem?
thanks!

You cannot get an IFile for a file which is not part of the workspace.
For such cases, either you bite the bullet and use JavaFileEditorInput or
create a local copy of it which you can call whatever you want.

JavaFileEditor input has discouraged access so it won't let me access it
.. But no problem, i have created a ficticious project and file so i can
link the external file to it and then all goes right
Thanks all!!
