Hello group. I have build editor extension for files ends with *.aaa
When starting platform when file.aaa is selected in ResourceNavigator the i
see in debbuger that
IWorkbenchPage.findEditor(new FileEditorInput(["file.aaa"])) returns null.

Adding plugin early startup: <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.startup"/>
doesn't help.

here is extension:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="My Editor"
extensions="aaa"
icon="icons/1.gif"
class="proj1.editors.MyEditor"
id="proj1.editors.MyEditor">
</editor>
</extension>

What do I get worng ?
Many thanks,
Asaf

I usally not regular to answer myself through news groups, but I assume that
this will help others.
When plug is defined and later on Workbench cannot find it its because
during runtime usally in createPartControl() there was some runtime
exception or other views involeved with it caused exception.

Platform error dialogs not nessosarly point the problem sorce, nor the log
file.
Cheers,
Asaf
