How to support RepositoryAttachementEditorInput [message #46099]

Hi,

How can I support Mylyn's RepositoryAttachementEditorInput in a custom
editor ? (This input is used to open an attached file in a task)

My editor can open an IFileEditorInput.

Do I need to explicitly support RepositoryAttachementEditorInput or can
it be adapted to another input type using getAdaptable() ?

Thanks,

Nicolas, I would strongly recommend to use IStorageEditorInput as a
base interface for any custom editor inputs. In that case you would be
able to work with content that is not represented with local files or
resources (that include stuff from task attachments and also from
version control systems, like things you can open from CVS Repositories
or History views). RepositoryAttachmentEditorInput implements
IStorageEditorInput.

regards,
Eugene

Thanks, I switched to IStorageEditorInput, and it worked.
