Hi guys,

my problem is i need to get the file the actual editor is using from an
external plugin.

I don 't know how to do this.

The command must look something like this i think
MyPlugin.getDefault().getworkbench.getActiveEditor().getEdit orInput()

but i don't know how exactly, Anbody an idea?

Thanks in advance

Johannes

TestPlugin.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWin dow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor()
