Opening a node in editor

Question

Hi,
I am relatively new to JDeveloper extension development.
I am currently working with my ESB team to develop an extension to do certain things with the diagram.
We are stuck when we are trying to get the oracle.tip.tools.ide.esb.addin.DiagramEditor object from the node.
If we right click on an ESB resource node, the context menu should have our new menuitem. This works fine.
But, as we need to work with the oracle.tip.tools.ide.esb.addin.DiagramEditor object, we are trying to invoke the
editor for this node(when clicking the menuitem) with the following piece of code:
public boolean handleEvent(IdeAction ideAction, Context context) {
Element el = context.getElement();
if (el instanceof DiagramNode) {
DiagramNode dNode = (DiagramNode) el;
Util.logToIde("\nOpening resource... ");
*EditorManager.getEditorManager().register(new DiagramAddin() ,new Class[] {DiagramNode.class});*
Util.logToIde("\nOpened resource");
The editor is not opening.
If we can not open the editor we can not get the gui components from it, thus our work is stuck.
We are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
Please help.

Hi,
I guess, you are just registering the Editor.
Have you tried this after register?
EditorManager.getEditorManager().openDefaultEditorInFrame(<the file which you would want to open>);-Arun
