Open IFile int the main window [message #325770]

Hello,

i have a tableviewer with some Ifiles as input. Now i wanted to open a
file by doubleclick this cell. How can i do this? i have allready the
listener and the IFile. I found code like this to open the editor:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().openEditor(IFile);

but this method exist not in this way.

I think it is quite easy but i found nothing what really helped me.

Jörg,

You'll need to create a FileEditorInput to what the IFile.

normal default Editor in the main frame of eclipse. Can you say me this?

No the showed does that not automatically, but the last codeline helped
