Description Lucas Koehler CLA 2018-11-15 03:44:47 EST
Currently, the GenericEditor only works correctly with FileEditorInputs. This means only files present as a file in the workspace can be opened.
The GenericEditor should also support other inputs such as IStorageEditorInput and especially FileRevisionEditorInput which is used when opening files from the history.

Comment 5 Lucas Koehler CLA 2019-07-22 08:16:03 EDT
The Generic Editor can now load files from a storage input as readonly. Concretely, this allows to view older revisions of files from Eclipse's local history or a Git history via EGit.
