Method Detail

getCurrentEditorback to summary
public Editor getCurrentEditor()

Retrieves the current topmost file of all of the Editors this EditorFactory has opened. This is used for the debugger user interface to request that a breakpoint be set. (Editors can also request that breakpoints be set via the EditorCommands, but this is intended to support external editors with their own keystrokes for performing this operation.) Returns null if there is no file currently being edited.

openFileback to summary
public Editor openFile(String filename, EditorCommands commands)

Opens the given file in a new window. The debugger has already taken care of ensuring that the file can be found. The debugger will typically not create two Editor objects for the same source file, as it keeps track of open files. The EditorCommands object provided to the Editor by the debugger allows the Editor to notify the debugger of events such as a breakpoint being set or a window being closed.
