This is not SWT, and is more approriate for eclipse.platform.

Paul,
A colleague of mine asked the same question in e.swt and you
responded to that. We have struggling to set the size of a editor. Any
pointers in either the e.swt or this newsgroup will be helpful.

To maximize an editor programmatically, you would use IWorkbenchPage
methods (like toggleZoom(*) or setPartState(*) introduced in 3.2).

You cannot do it through API on 3.1.

That being said, the methods are there on the *internal* class
WorkbenchPage on 3.1 ... but of course internal classes always carry the
risk that they can disappear, or their methods can change, from release
to release.
