Does XText support opening files outside of workspace? [message #628877] Fri, 24 September 2010 14:58 Go to next message

Hi all,

I tried to open a local file that is outside of a workspace. But the editor fails to open. It looks like the XTextDocumentProvider extends from FileDocumentProvider, which assumes that we are always dealing with an IFile. Therefore, the default implementation will not support external files. Is this a correct assumption?

And if I want to support opening external file, I must provide a custom implementation of document provider?


Thanks...
Samantha

no not yet see ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289212 )
But you can mimic it by creating a linked file into the workspace that links to the external file.

And if you are interested in looking at an implementation that uses
automatic linking, I posted earlier in this forum about the solution
used in eclipse b3.
