I want to open two editors of a same file, something like "New window"
option in eclipse IDE. How can i do this in my own rcp application -
programaticaly?
One editor should be left, and other should be right. Besides that i want
to "synchronize" scrolling of theese two editors.
Anyone can help, thanks, Lazar.

You can use the ActionFactory.NEW_EDITOR to get the action.

To get them side by side, the user has to drag them. There is no
current way to synchronize scrolling unless you write it yourself.

If this is for a compare-type scenario, why not use the CompareEditor
(and CompareEditorInput)?

1. Do you have an example how to use Compare editor? I have no idea how it
looks.
2. How to write synchronizing myself?

In fact i am not doing a comparing - i want to show kind of (source -
destination) text side by side. Scrolling should be "synchronized". Any
starting points and ideas - except CompareEditor? Two problems bother me:
1. how to show view that shows source, side by side with already existing
and specially designed editor.
2. how to make scrolling of editor and newly created view synchronized.
Any ideas?
THANKS, Lazar.
