I have created a custom editor by extending TextEditor class . When I am opening a txt file I need to read the contents of the text file in the "init" method . Can I get the model Object / content of the editor with the "IEditorInput" object or is there some other approach . Kindly provide some advice as I am really stuck on this Sad

That doesn't make a lot of sense. The editor already loads the contents
of the editor input so why not get the text from the editor's
document? (This isn't a JDT-specific question so better to use the
platform, newcomers, or jface forum.)
