Checking the type of the active editor [message #327111]

Hi.

I'm trying to hook some functionality to the Java editor. For that
purpose, I'm setting up an ISelectionListener, which I'm wiring to the
WorkbenchWindow selection service.

I'm getting the selection event, which receives an IEditorPart.
The question is: how can I determine which type of editor this is?

I'm interested only in JDT CompilationUnitEditor type editors. However,
using instanceof seems wrong in this case, as CompilationUnitEditor is an
internal JDT class. So what's the proper way of doing that?

Thanks,
Zviki

Use editor.getSite().getId() and check whether it is equal to
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaUI.ID_CU_EDITOR.
