JavaFileEditorInput and IPathEditorInput [message #464703]

Hi,

I was trying to create a plug-in that was independent of the IDE (no
dependencies to org.eclipse.ui.IDE) but still could provide a file as input
for the TextEditor of the IDE.

Acordingly to the Eclipse API i should use IPathEditorInput in this cases
since the IDE TextEditor seemed to accept this type of editor input
(JavaFileEditorInput implemented this interface and was used to open
non-workspace files).

However i found out that the IDE TextEditor is dependent not on the
IPathEditorInput but on the internal class that implements it. The extension
org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.ExternalFileDocumentProvider defines a document
provider explicitly for JavaFileEditorInput and not for IPathEditorInput
invalidating any chances of providing any other IPathEditorInput
implementation.

How can I workaround this issue?

OK, assuming you cannot switch to 3.3 you have no other choice than
create your own copy of the JavaFileEditorInput and the
ExternalFileDocumentProvider.
