hello,
How can i receive IFileEditorInput or FileEditorInput from java.io.file?
I have java.io.file then i can receive org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile but my rcp application doesn't see this file. I heard about Eclipse File System (EFS) but i am not sure how use it?code looks like:

IPath location = new Path(file.getAbsolutePath());
IWorkspaceRoot root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();
IFile iFile = root.getFile(location);
try {
iFile.createLink(location, IResource.NONE, null);
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
FileEditorInput fileEditorInput = new FileEditorInput(iFile);

org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: Cannot create linked resource '/.../*.xhtml'. The parent resource is not accessible.

I would like open file outside the workspace in my own rcp editor.
