Not sure about the snippet you have. Does this helps?

IFile theFile = null;
IEditorInput editorInput = getEditorInput();
if(editorInput instanceof IFileEditorInput) {
    theFile = ((IFileEditorInput)editorInput).getFile();
}

I think that you can't get IFile instance for any non-workspace resource.
If you want get IFile from current opened EditorInput see prakash's answer.

Or if you want to put a java.io.File file external to the workspace into an
editor, you might use:

// Safeguard against empty and nonexistent files or directories
if (file == null || !file.exists() || file.isDirectory()) return;
try {
// Get input for editor.
final IFileStore filestore = EFS.getStore(file.toURI());
final FileStoreEditorInput input = new FileStoreEditorInput(filestore);
// Open editor on it.
window.getActivePage().openEditor(input, YourEditor.ID);
}
catch (final PartInitException xcp) {logger.error("opening editor failed for
{}", file);}
catch (final CoreException xcp) {logger.error("getting filestore failed for
{}",file);}

Missing IFile and other classes (blocking issue)! [message #466579 is a reply to message #465728]

This is exactly what I'm currently doing, but my Eclipse setup is unable to
find various classes which I need, such as:

org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput
org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile

Any idea why this is, and/or how I can fix it? This project was setup via
the plugin development new project wizard.

The error I was receiving was:
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find
the class file for org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput. Fix the build path
then try building this project.

I manually added the following libraries:
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources_3.2.1. R32x_v20060914.jar
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui_3.2.1.M20060915-10 30.jar

And now I can at least run the project, but every time I try to use one of
these classes, I appear to get a class loading exception.

Have I added these classes incorrectly? How can I ensure that all classes
are properly associated and loaded with my project? I expected all of the
eclipse plugin jars to be listed under "Plug-in Dependencies", but this
doesn't appear to be the case.

Please help!

Thanks,
Jeff

Bah! I found my answer... I needed to edit the manifest.mf file instead of
adding jars and/or editing the plugin.xml. I also needed to add
org.eclipse.ui.ide in order to get the IFileEditorInput instance (even
though its a part of the org.eclipse.ui namespace).

One other note on this topic, though... I noticed my default EditorInput is
*not* an instance of IFileEditorInput
(org.eclipse.ui.internal.editors.text.JavaFileEditorInput is not). It is,
however, an instance of IPathEditorInput, so the following code will work
to get the filename of an editor:

IEditorInput input = getEditorInput();
if( input instanceof IPathEditorInput )
{
IPath path = ((IPathEditorInput)input).getPath();
filename = path.toOSString();
}
