Hi,
I have two separate plugins which has editor org.eclipse.ui.editor as extension.
Both editors has only one extensions 'GIdentifiable' in 'Extension Elements Details'.

('GIdentifiable' is an Interface)

On doubleclick of file, I need to check few conditions and then need to decide in which editor file should open.

How to do this?

Currenly its opening in editor-plugin which is on top in product depencency.

Could someone help me, please ?

Thanks,
Preeti

Two possible solutions:

1) use the 'org.eclipse.ui.editors' extension point to contribute a
launcher. That launcher could then make the decision and open the
preferred editor.

2) see
