Add a file association for the file type you want to edit -
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations.
Add a file type that matches the file you want to open. Then associate
that type with the Text Editor.

Sorry, but you donŽt understand me very well.

IŽm developing a plug-in that shows everyfiles of a directory in a
jtree(swing), and I wonna launch eclipseŽs text editor when I clicked in
one of theese files.

Thanks

Is this an Eclipse plug-in? If so, why are you writing it in Swing?

Anyways, you can call:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().openEditor(new
FileEditorInput(file), "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");

where file is the IFile for the file you selected in your tree.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

Hello and thanks by your answer.

I was using swing because I couldnŽt show the tree in a view, but IŽve
resolved this problem.

I think your solution is good, but I donŽt know how to use the IFile.
IFile are used for files in the worksapce, but if I wonna open a file out
of the workspace(i.e c:\prueba.txt), How could I use it?

IŽm beginner developing plug-ins and "IŽm very green" and I have lot of
problems.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Jeff.

IŽve probed your solution but I found a problem. I tell you:

When I execute my plugin and I try to launch the text editor in this way

IWorkspace ws = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); //****
IProject project = ws.getRoot().getProject("External Files");

IPath location = new Path("C:\\jr.txt");
IFile file = project.getFile(location.lastSegment());

IEditorInput input=null;
input = new FileEditorInput(file);
try {
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().

openEditor(input, "org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

I recieve the next error,
Unhandled event loop exception
Reason:
Workspace is closed.

when the plugin execute the first instruction(****).

CouldnŽt I indicate to IFIle (file) the file that must open without use
project.getfile() since this is what produce the error?

Thanks a lot.
