[news.eclipse.tools] Opening a file in an editor

[kmunir@xxxxxxxxxx (Kushal Munir)]

Hi,

I posted a related message about this before, but I'm wondering why
Eclipse does not provide a way to open any file in an editor. It seems I
need the file to be inside my workspace (which means it has to belong to a
project), but there are situations when I do not want this (i.e. do not
want it to be visible to the user through the navigator view). For
example, I may have the file in a temporary location that I do not want to
expose to the user.

For situations such as this, what can I do? IStorageEditorInput seems to
be read-only input, so that does not help. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks
