How to get an IFile Object [message #182226]

Hello!

I want to open a file in the IDE using:

IDE.openEditor(IWorkbenchPage page, IFile file).

My problem is that I want to open a file which is located somewhere on
the harddrive, e.g. /home/user/somefile.xyz

All I have is the path, how can I get a IFile object from it as I don't
find any API for doing this.

Need help ;-)

You can't create an IFile that isn't in your workspace. Try
FileStoreEditorInput (3.3 stream).
