Hi all,
In my standalone RCP application I want to use an editor (XML Author,
extends TextEditor) and feed it with Strings. As it seems impossible to
pass anything else than IFile instances, I thought of creating a temporary
file, adding a IFile handle and passing the IFile to the editor.
It seems that IFiles can only exist in a Workspace. So my question is: How
can I add a workspace to my RCP application? (... in order to put
temporary IFiles into it that can be read in and changed by the editor.)
Thanks in advance,
Lars

This is not true - the text editor can also operate on external files
(see File > Open File...). The bigger problem for your RCP app will be
that you drag in all the IDE stuff (menus, views, etc) when adding
org.eclipse.ui.editors.
