I am frustrated trying to figure this one out, so ill see if anyone else
has encountered it.
I created a view that displays a tree of resources. These resources can
be opened in an editor that I have also created by:
1)right click->open from within the my view (my own action), or
2)adding the resource to a project (of custom nature) and right
click->open from within the Project Explorer (Project Explorer
functionality).
Both options work great, unless I attempt to open a resource from within
my view when it is currently part of a project as well. When I do this,
my editor's document is returned as null and I get a NullPointerException
during creation of the editor. If I delete the resource from the project
and then try to open it from my view, it works fine again.
The resources are linked (not actual files on my PC), and therefore the
same openInputStream method is called when they are opened from within my
view and from within a project. I am using a TextFileDocumentProvider in
my custom editor. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
