Hi Nitin,

Thanks for your reply.

Once the SafeRunner class is triggered, the program stops right there 
and nothing goes further.

I tried using IEditorReferences instead as you suggested and here's the 
code:
	public static IEditorPart findEditorForFile(IFile file)
			throws PartInitException {
		IEditorPart editor = null;
		IEditorReference[] references = InputValidationPlugin
				.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage()
				.getEditorReferences();
		for (int i = 0; i < references.length; i++) {
			IEditorReference reference = references[i];
			if (reference.getEditorInput().equals(new FileEditorInput(file))) {
				editor = reference.getEditor(true);
			}
		}
		return editor;
	}

This time, when the getEditor() was invoked, the program choked there 
and there was never an object of IEditorPart returned.

Any other ways I can try to possibly work around this?

Thanks,
Jing
