How to create a new Editor and IEditorInput [message #294335]

Hello,
I need to create a new Text Editor which can display Strings. (They
normaly only accept IFile). To do so I need to write a new IEditorInput,
but what is the next step? I assume that I somehow must work with a
IDocumentProvider, but did not find any appropiate code. Can anybody help
me with a fragment or example?

In this blog is a tutorial and some sample code for creating a simple
editor. It's not must about file editors, but it would be easy to patch.
