Hi,
newbie question.
I have an RCP application that wishes to open
one editor. In my application's ActionBarAdvisor
I create an Open menu item and attach to my
OpenFileAction. OpenFileAction run() method looks
like this:
public void run() {
FileDialog fileDialog = new
FileDialog(window.getShell(), SWT.OPEN);
String fileName = fileDialog.open();
try {
window.getActivePage()
.openEditor(new MyPathEditorInput
(new Path(fileName)),"myEditorID");
} catch ()
Now, I have all of my EditParts and my model ready to go
except I don't know where to construct and keep my model?
Should I place a private instance of my model in my editor
and construct it in my editor's getContent() method?
Something like this?
private MyModel model;
protected Object getContent() {
MyPathEditorInput input =
getSite()
.getWorkbenchWindow()
.getActivePage()
.getInput()
.getAdapter(MyPathEditorInput);
File file = new File(input.getPath());
model = makeModel(file);
return model;
}
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you Anthony.
Looking at GEF Logic Editor I see:
protected void setInput(IEditorInput input) {
superSetInput(input);
IFile file = ((IFileEditorInput)input).getFile();
try {
InputStream is = file.getContents(false);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(is);
setLogicDiagram((LogicDiagram)ois.readObject());
ois.close();
}
// other stuff
}
OK I'll do it here. But:
Given that I don't have access to org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile,
But I do have org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath;
How do I cast IEditorInput to MyPathEditorInput so that I can have
access to it's public IPath getPath() method?
Thanks,
your help is greatly appreciated.

oops!
IPath path = ((MyPathEditorInput)input).getPath();
Thanks again, greatly appreciated.
