Getting File instance form the IEditorInput instance [message #279690]

Eclipse User

Hello,
I would like to create a java.io.File from the IEditorInput instance
provided as argument in the EditorPart.init method..
The way I found to do this is quite inelegant :

....
IFile anIFile = ((IFileEditorInput)editorInput).getFile();
File aFile =
(File)(anIFile.getWorkspace().getRoot().getLocation().append (anIFile.getFullPath()).toFile());

Is there a better way to do this?

best regards
Xavier

((IFileEditorInput)editorInput).getFile().getLocation() is enough.
