creating a RCP editor for external files

[niretn]

Hi,
I could really use your help on something I can't figure out..
I want to add an editor on my RCP, for external files. the normal eclipse editor will do.
I created the extension point, and all is well.
But I can't seem to be able to open the editor! the OpenEditor function needs an IFILE as an argument, and i can't give it one as I need to use external files.
The only other solution I found is to use the FileStore class. in this class, I manage to open the file, but in some default lousy editor (there is "editor id" parameter when using filestore). I tried to get passed it, but the eclipse editors needs to get only a "FileEditorInput" class, and again needs an IFILE from the workspace for it.

Has any of you tried it, or could referance me to some good widget
thanks a lot!

I am not sure but have you tried
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations->Occurences

Hope it helps

hi,
thx for the answer, but I'm not sure I understand you..
the annotations menu is for tweaking the editor, I'm currently still stuck at openning one (: (in rich client)
