How to launch source editor within my own code? [message #463712]

Hi,

I am trying to create a plugin for Eclipse that will call an external
program that displays the difference between two different versions of a
program and then be able to select one of the differences and actually
open the file in a text window.

How can I create a standard source editor window for editing the Java
source files given the file? I can create an editor which runs when I
open a new Java file from the menu, but I can't work out how do the same
from my own code.

Thanks for any help.

Pete

see IWorkbenchPage#openEditor

example for java editor :

final IWorkbenchWindow window = PlatformUI
.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
IEditorInput input = new FileEditorInput(iFile);
page.openEditor(input, "org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor", true);
