[platform-ui-dev] using an FileElementFactory within a plugin






Hello,

I'm trying to use a FileEditorInputFactory within my plugin.  I've 
added the following extension point to my plugin.xml:

    <extension
         point = "org.eclipse.ui.elementFactories">
         <factory
            id ="org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInputFactory"
            class="org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInputFactory">
         </factory>
     </extension>

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)inpu 
t).getPath().toString());
}

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

Thanks,
--Michael
