RE: [cdt-core-dev] Open Declarations for .h not in project

[Thomas Fletcher <ThomasF@xxxxxxx>]

Take a look at the OpenIncludeAction.  I suspect that the
problem is that you have this lonely file out in the middle
of no-where and it isn't actually part of the workspace proper.

Look at the code in run() and more specifically in 
activateExistingOpenedExternalFile().  We should likely roll
this code together into the EditorUtility class so that there
is a common location for this kind of thing.

Hope this helps, 
  Thomas
