I'm trying to use a FileEditorInputFactory within my plugin.  I've added the
extension point to my plugin.xml.  I keep on getting the error, "Unable to
restore editor - no input factory ID."

I've tracked the problem down to org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager, where I
get a NullPointerException thrown here:

// TODO - DDW - dynamic UI - a check for a null input was deliberately removed here.
if (input instanceof IPathEditorInput) {
	editorMem.putString(IWorkbenchConstants.TAG_PATH,((IPathEditorInput)input).getPath().toString());
}

So am I doing something wrong on my end, or is there a cleanup needed in this
eclipse code?
