[news.eclipse.platform] Re: cannot be cast to org.eclipse.ui.ide.FileSto

["Prakash G.R." <grprakash@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried opening an editor on a non-existing file. It works fine

IFileStore store = EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStore(new 
Path("C:\\NoSuchFile.txt"));
IDE.openEditor(activePage, new FileStoreEditorInput(store), 
"org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");

   So probably the issue would be in your editor. Probably in the place 
where you create your model from the file (setInput?), check whether the 
file exists and if not, create an empty model.
