We are using EMF2DOMSSE bridge to edit config files (with form-based
tabs and source XML tab), this works nice and dandy for files inside
workspace (IFile).
Let's say we want the same for files outside of workspace.
Now, EMF2DOMRenderer works fine with these (using InputStream API).
EMF2DOMSSERenderer heavily depends on IFile and explicitly discourages
using InputStream by throwing an exception when InputStream passed in is
not null. Is there particular reason for this design decision? I looked
at hacking it by extending EMF2DOMSSERenderer, but it requires
reimplementing too much.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure which version you are using, but the original reason, from
several releases ago, was probably that somewhere, somehow, something
depended on IFile, or more likely IProject (deduced from the IFile), to
correctly interpret or read the file or pass it to an editor.
Lots of things have changed in the platform (and the platform's editors)
since this class was first created, so I am not sure it it's still
required or not ... I'm just explaining the probable reason for the
design decision.
hope it helps
