[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Proxy for org.eclipse.ui.editors extensi

[Trey Anastasio <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not explicitly opening the editor, but instead it's opened by the 
Workbench via filename+extension configuration within the extension point.

I think what you're suggestiong is:
- Create an extension point for each version of the editor with a unique 
editor id
- When the file is opened, get and evaluate project property
- Based on property, explicitly open one of the editors via 
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(IWorkbenchPage page, IFile input, 
String editorId)

If so, how is the above process initiated when a user double-clicks on 
the assigned filename+extension?
