The text editor interface is implemented by any editor in the IDE which provides a plain text view. It provides operations which are common to plain text views.

For example, to open the default editor on a URL then jump to the fifth line of the file if the default editor is a text editor, you might use:

   Editor editor = EditorUtil.openDefaultEditorInFrame( url );
   if ( editor instanceof TextEditor )
   {
     ((TextEditor)editor).gotoLine( 5, 1, true );
   }
