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

["ailinykh" <andrey@xxxxxxx>]

Create a new file and open non existing file are different things. If you 
open file which doesn't exixt (someone deleted it) this is an exceptional 
situation and you have to notify user. Creating a new file is regular 
procedure, you have to create new editor, that's it. What I found in eclipse 
sources (Java editor probably) is creating special implementation of 
IEditorInput which is not connected to any file. Is it a supposed way to 
create new editor?

Thank you,
