Open file in its editor from Search Result. [message #332253]

I am writing a search extension plugin.I need to open the search result
file in its editor on the double click.
Editor for that file is available as i can open the file in its editor
from project explorer but when i try to open it from search result it gets
open up in default text editor.

to resolve same i started playing around with code and observed that on

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getEditorRegistry().getDefaultEdit or( "address.diagram")

i get a valid editorDescriptor.but when i do..

IEditorInput input= new FileEditorInput(file);
IEditorPart editor=page.findEditor(input);

"file" is an valid object of IFile refereing to a .diagram file.
"page" is a valid ref of IWorkbenchPage.

value of "editor" comes to be null and thus unable to load file in its
editor.

Can somebody suggest me what i need to do to resolve this.

thanks.

Take a look at org.eclipse.search.internal.ui.text.EditorOpener
