Reusing an existing editor [message #276525]

How can I reuse an existing editor part instead of opening another one. I
want a pinned editor. I was thinking of locating the editor and changing
the editor input. But again IEditorPart has no way of refreshing. Here I
will be forced to cast it to my MyEditorPart and work with it. Looks
clumpsy if I have many editor types. Is there a better solution

You can make your IEditorPart reusable by implementing the
IReusableEditor interface (which provides a setInput method).
