Hello,

i have a tableviewer with some Ifiles as input. Now i wanted to open a
file by doubleclick this cell. How can i do this? i have allready the
listener and the IFile. I found code like this to open the editor:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().openEditor(IFile);

but this method exist not in this way.

I think it is quite easy but i found nothing what really helped me.

Jörg,

You'll need to create a FileEditorInput to what the IFile.

normal default Editor in the main frame of eclipse. Can you say me this?
