Is there an Eclipse platform API to list the currently open files in the
editor?

Ideally I'd like to be able to get all the open files of a particular type
(e.g. all open XML files) but I can only see a way to get the currently
active editor and which editor is associated with which file.

Here is one way that works with no context:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getEditorReferences()

It could be shorter if you have enough context to get the
IWorkbenchWindow or IWorkbenchPage directly.

Hope this helps,
Eric

This works perfectly, thank you!
