| IEditorDescriptor | | public interface IEditorDescriptor extends IWorkbenchPartDescriptor(Code) | | Description of an editor in the workbench editor registry. The
editor descriptor contains the information needed to create editor instances.
An editor descriptor typically represents one of three types of editors:
- a file editor extension for a specific file extension.
- a file editor added by the user (via the workbench preference page)
- a general editor extension which works on objects other than files.
This interface is not intended to be implemented or extended by clients.
