*** Problem: ***

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=322035

IMP does not have enough "knowledge" to open editors on all types of IEditorInput

*** Diagnosis: ***

EditorInputUtils can handle only certain types of IEditorInput. Need a way for language provider to handle other types

*** Proposed IMP API change: ***

Add the following methods:

public interface IEditorService{
// ...

public IFile getFile(IEditorInput editorInput);

public String getNameExtension(IEditorInput editorInput);

public IPath getPath(IEditorInput editorInput);

// ...
}

Upon further review, LanguageServiceManager can return multiple instances of IEditorService. We need to add these methods to a service which has only one instance per language, or create a new service.

*** NEW Proposed IMP API change: ***

Create a new service with the following methods:

public interface IEditorInputService{

public IFile getFile(IEditorInput editorInput);

public String getNameExtension(IEditorInput editorInput);

public IPath getPath(IEditorInput editorInput);

}

and create the corresponding extension point
