I don't know of any examples off the top of my head, but to open an
editor you'll need to give it an IEditorInput of some kind (when you
open a file from a project, it is (usually) given an IFileEditorInput).
If you have a reference to an IFile, you can use
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(IWorkbenchPage, IFile, boolean)
[where the IWOrkbenchPage comes from
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage() ]
Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric. First of all thank you for answering!! Ive been trying to do
what you said, but with any satisfactory result  Ill try again
later. Anyway, I think thats not what Im looking for. That would open
the editor the same way as if I doble-click on a file in the Package
Explorer, wouldnt it? I mean, in a Eclipse new tab.
In that case I need a file, but I want to edit just a text String. The
problem is that I need content assist, error marking, syntax highlight,
etc. Otherwise I would just use StyledText. For that I have to use that
text editor, but I need to embed it in a text Dialog with some GridData or
something like that.
Ive been searching for some examples but I couldnt get anything. Any
help is appreciated!
Thanks again!

You're right, my suggestion about using the IDE class will launch your
editor, not embed it into a dialog. For that, you might want to look at
the code for the Display view in the JDT debugger. It is a Java editor
with content-assist and other features, like what you describe. Looking
at the code for that view might give you some idea how to do what you want.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Actually it's not an editor but a source viewer.
