Hi!

I'm working on an editor and in that editor I want to open an editor
specific file that don't exist in the workspace. Is that possible? When
I'm trying to do that now I get a Classcastexception. The editor expect
a IFileEditorInput but the file outside the workspace is of the type
JavaFileEditorInput.

Many thanks

Martin

Which version of Eclipse are you using?

On the latest (3.3) take a look at FileStoreEditorInput.

See the org.eclipse.ant.internal.ui.ExternalHyperlink implementation for an
example
