I am missing something here. I need to be able to programmatically open
an editor, but whenever I attempt to use any of the snippets here they
will NOT compile.

Most recently I tried this:

page.openEditor
(new FileEditorInput(modelFile),

workbench.getEditorRegistry().getDefaultEditor(modelFile.get FullPath().toString()).getId());
}

Eclipse gets all excited about "FileEditorInput". Does NOT recognize this
as a class. I look it up and it is supposed to be in
"org.eclipse.ui.part" which IS imported - still won't find it.

I have the same problem with the IDE.method - Eclipse can't find "IDE".

Same story with IStorageEditorInput.

What am I missing?

At least you miss org.eclipse.ui.ide in the list of required bundles.

Hey Dave,

Have you set your plugin to require the org.eclipse.ui plugins that contain
the imported classes?
Check out the Dependencies tab on your Plug-in Manifest editor opened on the
plugin.xml of your plugin.
