[news.eclipse.platform] Re: CommonNavigator with large files

["Francis Upton (News)" <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

The navigators work with resources, how you manage the models is your 
own affair.  In my application, I keep a hash from the IFile to my model 
object so I will find the open file if it's already in memory.

In my editor, I have some code like this:

    @Override
    public void init(IEditorSite site, IEditorInput input)
        throws PartInitException
    {
        IFile file;

        if (input instanceof IFileEditorInput)
        {
            file = ((IFileEditorInput)input).getFile();
            _mainNode = _editor.getRuntime().findMainNode(file);
        }

You can see that last method looks up the file.

HTH,
