Your are posting to eclipse.platform so I assume you already have a
dependency on swt-libs.

org.eclipse.swt.program.Program.launch("C:/my.log")

Anthony,

I think he meant using org.eclipse.swt.program.Program#Launch(String),
the String passed as argument being the filename of the log you want to
edit. This should bring up the system editor associated with the file.
