Hi all,
I need to open an external editor on a file not present in the workspace .

My action already works fine if I specify the default external editor . but
it doesn't if I try to open a specific program . what am I doing wrong?

What shall I do to solve the problem?
Thanks for ur help
Kar

-------------------------------------

If the editor descriptor is
EditorDescriptor(id=org.eclipse.ui.systemExternalEditor, label=&System
Editor) WORKS FINE ...

EditorDescriptor(id=C:\Program Files\Scintilla Text Editor\SciTE.exe,
label=SciTE) DOESN'T ...
(I got the name from the eclipse dialog that lists all the external
programs.)

IFileStore fileStore = Utils.getFileStore(file);
IWorkbenchPage page =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage();
page.openEditor(new FileStoreEditorInput (fileStore),
editorDescriptor.getId());

-------------------------------

public static IFileStore getFileStore(java.io.File file)
{
IFileStore fileStore = EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStore(
new Path(file.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()));
return fileStore.getChild(file.getName());
}

org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Unable to open editor, unknown editor ID:

Only textual editors support this.
