Hi,
i am opening a remote file using a eclipse IDE and filestore.the file is not an Ifile as i do not have it in my workspace and i want to highlight a text or have a marker in that newly opened editor.
code is:
File fileToOpen = new File(filepath);
IFileStore fileStore = EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStore(fileToOpen.toURI());
IWorkbenchPage page= PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
try {
IDE.openEditorOnFileStore(page, fileStore);
} catch (PartInitException e1) {

}
i am able to open the remote file with this code in a editor,but i dont have any instance of this editor to work on so is there a way of working with such editors and highlighting text or adding markers?

IMarker only work for files inside the workspace (IFile). If you want to
highlight things in the editor you might want to use file buffers and
annotation models. Take a look at the following extension points:
org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.annotationModelCreation
org.eclipse.ui.editors.markerAnnotationSpecification
