Re: [platform-dev] IResource representation for non-workspace URI

[Alexander Fedorov <alexander.fedorov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, thanks for the answer.
I often have a task to show EMF Diagnoctics for EMF Resource with "file" 
URI and resolving it using the tricks you described.

I don't believe the current ProblemsView can be detached from IResource, 
because it is hardly coupled with IMarker that exists in the context of 
IResource.

Probably we can create more neutral implementation of "Problems View" to 
be used for E4 and IDE-less RCPs as well.
