Hello,

Could please advice how to open a file in the system editor from pure
SWT application - the same way it is done in the platform "open With" ->
"System Editor" command? A code snippet would be great.

Thanks
Jacek

See org.eclipse.swt.program.Program ... it has methods to find a system program for a filename, and execute it (and shortcuts to simply launch the file).
