I'm creating a plugin to do a very simple thing: open the currently edited
file in an external application. However, I can't seem to find anything in
the eclipse help manual which tells me how to find the file which is
currently open. Does anybody know how to do this? Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response Hema and Daniel. The
ActiveWindow/IWorkbenchWindow is exactly what I'm looking for and I also
found many helpful search results in this newsgroup discussing this class.
Thanks again!
