| Projects Conflicting with Custom Editor [message #329759] | Wed, 02 July 2008 17:43  |  | 
| Eclipse User  |  |  |  |  | Hello, 
 I am frustrated trying to figure this one out, so ill see if anyone else
 has encountered it.
 
 I created a view that displays a tree of resources.  These resources can
 be opened in an editor that I have also created by:
 1)right click->open from within the my view (my own action), or
 2)adding the resource to a project (of custom nature) and right
 click->open from within the Project Explorer (Project Explorer
 functionality).
 
 Both options work great, unless I attempt to open a resource from within
 my view when it is currently part of a project as well.  When I do this,
 my editor's document is returned as null and I get a NullPointerException
 during creation of the editor.  If I delete the resource from the project
 and then try to open it from my view, it works fine again.
 
 The resources are linked (not actual files on my PC), and therefore the
 same openInputStream method is called when they are opened from within my
 view and from within a project.  I am using a TextFileDocumentProvider in
 my custom editor.  Any ideas as to why this is happening?
 
 Thanks,
 Derek

| Eclipse User  |  |  |  |  | I think I have found the issue... 
 In TextFileDocumentProvider's createFileInfo(Object element) method (sorry
 if the formatting of the code is off):
 
 
 ILocationProvider provider= (ILocationProvider)
 adaptable.getAdapter(ILocationProvider.class);
 if (provider instanceof ILocationProviderExtension)
 {
 URI uri= ((ILocationProviderExtension)provider).getURI(element);
 if
 (ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().findFilesForLocati onURI(uri).length
 == 0)
 {
 IFileStore fileStore= EFS.getStore(uri);
 manager.connectFileStore(fileStore, getProgressMonitor());
 fileBuffer= manager.getFileStoreTextFileBuffer(fileStore);
 }
 }
 if (fileBuffer == null && provider != null)
 {
 IPath location= provider.getPath(element);
 if (location == null)
 return null;
 .
 .
 .
 }
 
 
 The code above is finding a file in the workspace that matches the one in
 my view because they have the same URI (since I am using linked
 resources), so the .length check returns false.  Due to this, the code
 jumps down to the fileBuffer and provider null check and attempts to get
 the IPath of the element.  provider.getPath(element) returns null however,
 since the linked resource does not actually exist in the local file system
 (the workspace).  createFileInfo then returns null, causing my editor to
 not have a document as well as the NullPointerException.
 
 For now, I have extended TextFileDocumentProvider and slightly modified
 the createFileInfo method to not check for files in the workspace, which
 works - is this the best solution though?  Or is there some type of
 attribute I should be using on my linked resources that would prevent this
 from happening?  Or something else?
 
 Thanks,
 Derek
