Thanks for replying to my post.

At the moent I've create a "HelloWorld" plugin using the wizard and think I 
understand whats going on with the plugin.xml and such. The plugin works 
fine when I run it aswell.

Now, I'd like to access the active editors and read \ write text to it. My 
question is then, using a IWorkbenchWindow variable how can I access the 
active editor and archive the tasks mentioned. Hope that was clear.

Appreciate any help.
