Eclipse editors save as functionality [message #1778356]

Hello all,

We had a project that was built on eclipse 3. Now we started to migrate to eclipse 4. We are still using the compatibility layer though.

Previously we have implemented the save as functionality this way:

IEditorInput newInput = new FileEditorInput((IFile) newFileResource);
((EditorReference) editorRef).setInput(newInput);

Now in eclipse 4 things doesn't work that way anymore.
setInput is not visible for EditorReference.

I want to know how should I achieve the saveAs functionality programmatically in Eclipse 4.

Thanks.

For the record if anyone faced the same issue,
I have got to fix this by doing the following:

editor.init((IEditorSite)editor.getSite(), newInput);
