Hello everyone,

I currently have my custom TextEditor and I want to know what the name of
the file the editor is currently editing at runtime or at least the
name/location of the container the open file is in. Any suggestions are
welcome and thanks in advance.

You can get the editor input from the text editor and then test whether
it's an IFileEditorInput. If so you can get the file. Otherwise you can
get at least the name.
