Opening a file in visual editor programatically [message #122718]

Hi

I've developed, as a part of one plugin, a wizard for Java classes. After
the class is created, I want to get it opened in a the visual Java Editor.

As it's a .java file, the default editor is the text Java Editor, and I
don`t want to change this default options.

Searching the APIs and newsgroups, I found the method
IWorkbenchPAge.openEditor(IFile input, String editorID).

My question is about where I can find the editorID corresponding to the
Visual Editor for Java.

Thank you very much.

It is " org.eclipse.ve.internal.java.codegen.editorpart.JavaVisualEd itor "
However, since it is internal, it may change in the future. At this time
it is steady and will not change for Release 0.5.0

First of all, Rich, thanks for your reply.

I think from what I read (could be wrong) that that class is a part of
Eclipse v2.1 and the new visual editor project.

I was just trying to open the default visual editor, the same you have as
an option to associate to ".java" files. If you use the normal open
method, you will get the default editor associated with that file. In my
case, and for ".java" files, it's the text editor.

What I'm trying to do is recognize the kinf of ".java" file (visual or
not) and open one or another editor. That's the reason I was looking for
the identifier of the Visual Editor.

There is no kindof. Any java file at all can be opened in either the
default java editor or the visual editor.

Thanks again for your reply, Rich.

I finally found a way to identify visual java files, but still couldn't
manage to open the visual editor. What I finally did is setting the visual
editor as default, so when I call the open method, I get the .java file
I've created visually edited.

I know it's not the best solution, but it's the only one I've found.
Anyway, I think there should be a way to programatically invoking an
editor based on public identifiers for each editor.

Thanks again.
