Create an editor with an existing plugin [message #317091]

Hi,
I want to create my own editor like in Eclipse with the editor for Java
files. So I want to associate my editor with an open source plug-in
which read and edit specific file.
It is possible? If it is possible how I can do that?
I expect my explanation is clear.
Thanks in advance !

Check out

which has a section on writing editors for your own language.

Thanks Paul, but it's not exactly what I want. I don't want to create my
own language. I just want to reuse a installed plug-in in my Eclipse in
my own application. I found the following solution :
final IWorkbenchPage vActivePage =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage();
vActivePage.openEditor(getInput(), "myapplication.editor");
So I just want to know how I do to open the editor from the plug-in and
not my own editor. I expect this is clear.
Thanks in advance.
