使用Java在Eclipse中打开文件

Question

I would like to write a method that opens a file (eg XML) with the Eclipse XML editor.

I have an XML file in my workspace. Alternative route: right mouse click on the file > open with > xml editor . I would like to achieve this programmatically using Java.

Answer 1

You can use the following statement to run a command line command:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("eclipse.exe C:/path/to/your/file.xml");

Make sure that your Eclipse executable is part of your system's PATH variable or use the complete path in the command.

Answer 2

If Eclipse is you default XML program you can go for:

try {
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:/Users/exampleUser/Desktop/test.xml"));
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Otherwise go for TimoSta's solution.
