FileLink in console with a external file [message #328359]

hi all,

I try to have a link in a console that open a file who is not in the
workspace

to be practical , I have that

IFile confFile = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot()
.getFileForLocation(new Path(line));

who return null cause the file représented by his path is out of the
workspace (but really exist)

I found that
http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=fr&q=+package:https: //sifsstud2.hsr.ch/publicsvn/PythonRefactoring/trunk+doOpenE ditor+show:aW3_nOKb3zY:0TJD2-nsoQg:aW3_nOKb3zY&sa=N& cd=1&ct=rc&cs_p=https://sifsstud2.hsr.ch/publicsvn/P ythonRefactoring/trunk&cs_f=src/org.python.pydev/src/org /python/pydev/plugin/PydevPlugin.java

but it seem ood and bizarre (with a big ALL BELOW IS COPIED) .

plus, there some part of code I dont unterdstand like

return new PydevFileEditorInput(new File(fileAbsolutePath));

who return a class derived from IPathEditorInput and ILocationProvider

me the only thing I have is A TextEditor class so must I replace this
kind of thing by
return new MyEditor().getInputEditor().???

or is there any other facilities??
thanks

Julien,

Look at the class OpenLocalFileAction (the code for File->Open File...) in
the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin and search for the following.

IFileStore fileStore = EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStore(new
Path(filterPath));

A bit of magic turns the IFileStore into a FileStoreEditorInput which is
used by your editor. If your editor, like ours, needs to open a plan old
file you can turn the FileStoreEditorInput into an IPath in your
IAdapterFactory. It would look something like this:

URI uri = ((FileStoreEditorInput) adaptableObject).getURI();
IPath path = URIUtil.toPath(uri);
File file = new File(path.toString());
