Hi Dani,
Thanks a lot for your reply,
I have tried the way you said.
But the question is,
Eclipse says that editor can be made for any kind of inputs, so is it
possible to open editor without using file i mean without filebased editor
invocation?
I have temporarily implemented a wizard that restricts user to create file
other than i wanted to and it opens the editor using file and
IDE.openEditor(...) but if it can be open without using IFile/file then it
will be good for my requirement.
Help me if possible....
Thanks in Advance...:)

Correct, e.g. the text and Java editors also display code from the CVS
repository or CVS history (IStorageEditorInput).

One thing is how you open the editor when the user clicks on something:
if the user selects a .dte file which is not actually an IFile then this
will not work (example: you open a .dte file from the CVS Repositories
view). You define how much your editor can handle.
Don't forget that a user can decide to use your editor to open other
kinds of files e.g. .java or .txt (Window > Preferences > Workbench >
File Associations).

Hi Dani,
Thanks for reply,
Now tell me please,
Is it possible to create an editor for input other than a file?
See, my scenario is,
I want to make a table viewer and table widget based editor that fetches the
data from the database and shows at a time single database table with the
values in cell editors and then I wanted to let the user change those values
and then user can save it back to database also.
I have done it using file input that for each table user will create a file
with the table name and .dte extension but I wanted to make it without using
file.
So when user will click on the table name in the view it will directly open
that editor without opening file
Is it possible?
How I can do that?
Please give me guidance or any references or links or any sample on net from
where I can get the idea....
Thanks in advance :)
Regards,
Mahesh Devjibhai Dhola

Yes of course, see subclasses of IEditorInput.

Yes.

You can define your own editor input (as subclass of IEditorInput or any
other public subtype that's closes to your needs) and write an editor
that can deal with your new editor input.
