I am loading several gmf diagram from db. User has several setting options
and based on current options the content of each diagram is loaded, e.g.,
within a specified time frame. User may change setting and want to re-open
an already open editor, I am thinking to find the already open one and
then close it and open a new one based on new setting. I used following
snipped

IWorkbenchWindow window;
window = this.getViewSite().getWorkbenchWindow();
IEditorPart[] openEditors = window.getActivePage().getEditors();

and then based on title (I am generating unique title for them), I can
find is any copy of the diagram is already open or not. But now I do not
know how to close it?!

If you think of other scenario please let me know (i.e., instead of
closing doing something else).

Best,
Ali

Hello Alireza,

You can use this.getViewSite().getPage().closeEditor(<editor>, true);
Another option is to call setInput() for the Editor referencing new input.
