The standard way to open an editor is using openEditor(...) from
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE:

IFile myFile = ...
IWorkbenchPage page =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage();
IEditorPart editor = IDE.openEditor(page,myFile);

This opens the editor which is associated to the type of file you selected.

If you want to specify the editor to be opened explicitely (e.G. your
MyEditor), you can open the editor with a call like this:

IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
workbenchWindow.getActivePage().openEditor(myFile, editorID, true);

Markus

Hi Raushan,

Inside the run method of an Action that you associate with your toolbar
button, use the following:

IWorkbenchWindow iWorkbenchWindow =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage iWorkbenchPage = iWorkbenchWindow.getActivePage();

iWorkbenchPage.openEditor(myEditorInput, MyEditor.ID);

You will need to create a class that extends EditorInput.
