Hello,
I'd like to make an editor that could open multiple files at the same time.
I don't know how to make that, because an editor is associated with only
one IEditorInput, so one editor only can modify one file.
Thanks,
Ana

AFAIK, the MultiPageEditorPart is for editing one file in multiple pages.
MultiEditor, OTOH, is for editing multiple files, each on a single page.
MultiEditorInput contains arrays of editor ids and editor inputs.

I think for the most part you need to use a specific action to open a
MultiEditor ... I don't see why that wouldn't work with handing a
MultiEditorInput to a MultiPageEditorPart.
Then your createPages() could get your EditorInput, check to see if it's
a MultiEditorInput, and extract the inner editor IDs and editor inputs,
and then use MultiPageEditorPart#addPage(IEditorPart editor,
IEditorInput input).
You would have to instantiate the EditorParts yourself, but there must
be a way to get from the ID to the IEditorPart ... maybe using
executable extensions?
MultiEditor is much better if you want to show 2 editors side by side,
like the TiledEditor example from the bug report you mentioned.
MultiPageEditorPart can open the multiple editors, but in a CTabFolder.

You could probably try faking it with MultiPageEditor.
Create a custom action to open the MultiPageEditor:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().openEditor(editorInput,editorId);
However, instead of the regular IFileEditorInput, create a MultiEditorInput
instead.
Then, within your editor setInput, when you create the pages, take the array
of editor inputs from the MultiEditorInput and use that to create each page.

Ok, I create each page with different IEditorInput and IEditorPart,but
now my problem is how to obtain the differents IEditorInput to create
the MultiEditorInput?

You need to create your own action delegate. Check out the bug that
Sunil suggested earlier ... the tiled editor example has an
OpenActionDelegate that can create a MultiEditorInput for the files
selected in the package explorer.
