I wrote a custom "Open File..." command/handler for our application and want to reuse eclipse code where possible but couldn't find an open file command. I checked in IWorkbenchCommandConstants but did not see anything like it. Anyone know of the command to use?

Thanks,

Max

There isn't a command for this. You can use the action:
org.eclipse.ui.openLocalFile

Thanks for the reply! Adding an invisible separator named new.ext in my File menu with id="file" got it to auto contribute the menu item!

Thanks
