Well, as of 3.3 ui.ide also contains the support for file store editor 
inputs and hence if you want full fledged text editor support for 
non-resource-based (external) files and install disk space isn't an 
issue then you should use org.eclipse.ui.ide and also 
org.eclipse.ui.editors. And as of 3.4 you don't even need to add the 
resources plug-in as this is marked optional now.
