Talk:EFS

After going through examples and reading various posts, article. I got a basic understanding but still a long way to go.

It looks that for minimum implementation for my custom file system: I have to extend FileStore & FileSystem class. Provide extension point org.eclipse.core.filesystem.filesystems to register my scheme.

But I can't find a way to use my FieStore instead of IFile. Though I can access/instantiate it by using method EFS.getStore.

But I am looking to get IResource/IFile so that I can use in some of my Editors and I don’t have to create temp local files. How do I get IFile when I have an instance of FileStore?
