File-oriented editors should support this as a valid input type, and allow full read-write editing of its content.

A default implementation of this interface is provided by org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInput.

All editor inputs must implement the IAdaptable interface; extensions are managed by the platform's adapter manager.
