| This extension point is used to add new editors to the |
| workbench. A editor is a visual component within a |
| workbench page. It is typically used to edit or browse |
| a document or input object. To open an editor, the user |
| will typically invoke "Open" on an <samp>IFile</samp>. |
| When this action is performed the workbench registry |
| is consulted to determine an appropriate editor for |
| the file type and then a new instance of the editor |
| type is created. The actual result depends on the |
| type of the editor. The workbench provides support |
| for the creation of internal editors, which are tightly |
| integrated into the workbench, and external editors, |
| which are launched in a separate frame window. |
| There are also various level of integration between |
| these extremes. |
| <p> |
| In the case of an internal editor tight integration can |
| be achieved between the workbench window and the editor |
| part. The workbench menu and toolbar are pre-loaded |
| with a number of common actions, such as cut, copy, and |
| paste. The active part, view or editor, is expected to |
| provide the implementation for these actions. An internal |
| editor may also define new actions which appear in the |
| workbench window. These actions only appear when the |
| editor is active. |
| <p> |
| The integration between the workbench and external |
| editors is more tenuous. In this case the workbench |
| may launch an editor but after has no way of determining |
| the state of the external editor or collaborating |
| with it by any means except through the file system. |

| The following is an example |
| of an internal editor extension definition: |
| <p> |
| <pre> |
| <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors"> |
| <editor |
| id="com.xyz.XMLEditor" |
| name="Fancy XYZ XML editor" |
| icon="./icons/XMLEditor.gif" |
| extensions="xml" |
| class="com.xyz.XMLEditor" |
| contributorClass="com.xyz.XMLEditorContributor" |
| symbolicFontName="org.eclipse.jface.textfont" |
| default="false"> |

| <documentation> |
| If the command attribute is used, it will be treated |
| as an external program command line that will be executed |
| in a platform-dependent manner. |
| <p> |
| If the launcher attribute is used the editor will also |
| be treated as an external program. In this case the |
| specified class must implement |
| <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IEditorLauncher</samp>. |
| The launcher will be instantiated and then |
| <samp>open(IPath path)</samp> will be invoked to |
| launch the editor on the provided local file system path. |
| <p> |
| If the class attribute is used, the workbench will |
| assume that it is an internal editor and the specified |
| class must implement <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IEditorPart</samp>. |
| It is common practice to |
| <samp>subclass org.eclipse.ui.EditorPart</samp> when |
| defining a new editor type. It is also necessary to |
| define a <samp>contributorClass</samp> attribute. |
| The specified class must implement |
| <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IEditorActionBarContributor</samp>, |
| and is used to add new actions to the workbench |
| menu and tool bar which reflect the features of the |
| editor type. |
| <p> |
| Within the workbench there may be more than one open |
| editor of a particular type. For instance, there may |
| be one or more open Java Editors. To avoid the creation |
| of duplicate actions and action images the editor |
| concept has been split into two. An |
| <samp>IEditorActionBarContributor</samp> is responsible |
| for the creation of actions. The editor is responsible |
| for action implementation. Furthermore, the contributor |
| is shared by each open editor. As a result of this |
| design there is only one set of actions for one or |
| more open editors. |
| <p> |
| The contributor will add new actions to the workbench |
| menu and toolbar which reflect the editor type. These |
| actions are shared and, when invoked, act upon the |
| active editor. The active editor is passed to the |
| contributor by invoking |
| <samp>IEditorActionBarContributor.setActiveEditor</samp>. |
| The identifiers for actions and major groups within |
| the workbench window are defined in |
| <samp>org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchActionConstants</samp>. |
| These should be used as a reference point for the |
| addition of new actions. Top level menus are created |
| by using the following values for the path attribute: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| additions - represents a group to the left of the Window menu. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| Actions and menus added into these paths will only be |
| shown while the associated editor is active. When the |
| editor is closed, menus and actions will be removed. |
