Description Rich Seddon CLA 2006-10-05 16:47:51 EDT 
I'm filing this bug for Ready for Rational compliance.

Would like to have org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.EditorUtility be public, especially:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.EditorUtility.openInEditor(Object, boolean) 
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.EditorUtility.openInEditor(Object) 
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.EditorUtility.revealInEditor(IEditorPart, IJavaElement)
Comment 1 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-10-06 12:33:38 EDT 
This got added for 3.3 M1 (I believe): JavaUI.openInEditor(IJavaElement, activate, reveal) (org.eclipse.jdt.ui)
Already there before: JavaUI.openInEditor(IJavaElement)
                      JavaUI.revealInEditor(IEditorPart, IJavaElement)

To open non-Java elements use IDE.openEditor
Comment 2 Rich Seddon CLA 2007-01-11 18:04:17 EST 
still missing these methods:
EditorUtility.getEditorInput(Object)
EditorUtility.openInEditor(IFile)
EditorUtility.isOpenInEditor(IType)
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2007-01-12 10:21:24 EST 
To open an IFile, use IDE.openEditor.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2007-01-15 04:30:09 EST 
Please explain your use case for 
- EditorUtility.getEditorInput(Object)
- EditorUtility.isOpenInEditor(IType)
Comment 5 Dan Yocum CLA 2007-01-24 13:28:16 EST 
we have custom decorations in editors which need to be removed following a refactor. so, based on an IType, we need to find an open editor (if any). we only need one of the remaining 2 - ideally EditorUtility.isOpenInEditor(itype), but we could find out ourselves if its open if we had EditorUtility.getEditorInput(Object)
Comment 6 Rich Seddon CLA 2007-01-24 13:29:20 EST 
Reopening based on Dan's comment.

Why don't you register as a refactoring participant then?
Comment 8 Dan Yocum CLA 2007-01-26 16:20:12 EST 
it was in the refactoring participant that we did the remove. however, as it turns out, we have another way of refreshing the rulers, so we dont need access to either of these calls. thanks for your help.
