Hi,
Users of Geppetto stumbled over the problems of opening external files
(i.e. use "open file" and pick a file somewhere in the file system).

This surfaced as a NPE in
DefaultFoldingStructureProvider.handleProjectionEnabled (as reported in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=363986).

Rather than getting a NPE, I would like to intervene at an earlier
point, and pop a dialog that tells the user that "Opening an external
file is not supported - use a linked file or folder in a project instead.".

Where would a good place to insert this be?

Regards
- henrik

Or perhaps divert the open of the DSL file to a plain text editor.
Anyone has any tips how to do that?
