Hi all,

I have a view (not the ResourceNavigator) that I use to display a File
System representation (I use EFS to map via IFileStore information from a
db).

Does anyone can point me where the resource navigator view (or how to do it)
transform the IFileStore to a IFile?

I need this just to be able to open any kind of editor with

IDE.openEditor(page, file, true);

Any help will be appreciated.

Just to be a bit more clearer: if I link my EFS to the Resource view I can
open any file it contains without any trouble if I just open I file on the
FileStore it works only with the basic TextEditor

Regards

Kar

See IWorkspaceRoot#findFilesForLocationURI. Pass in the URI of the
IFileStore.

Hi John ... hope i'm not saying something wrong ... but the problem is that
workspace root find file will only work if you are using EOF to link your
filesystem in the resourceview ... this will return null if u ur using your
eof to navigate your "filesystem" in a different view ...

i have tried to map my eof (which maps a db - sometimes really big) in the
resource view but it will read all the content .... and this could take
minutes

so it's ok if i use it in a normal view (works fine) but i will not be able
to use any editor on different file except the txt one (xml will not be open
and so on ;-(
