[news.eclipse.tools] Re: How to disable a TextEditor

[sma_r@xxxxxxxxxxx (Syed)]

I have tried to get hold of the protected getSourceViewer() method but get
a NullpointerException for no reason,I was told about this method earlier
on teh newsgroup,I have tried to debug it but for some reason the Debugger
hangs,So I am not sure how to address this,secondly I was thinking is
there nay method like setFocus() that does the opposite,so that I can do
teh oposite of setfocus on the editor and then work on the file from
behind.I apprecaite your reply.Looking forward for pointers.
Thanks
