<h3>Opening a Java editor</h3>
<p>The following snippet shows how <b><a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/jdt/ui/JavaUI.html">
JavaUI</a></b> can be used to open a Java editor and display a specific member of a
Java compilation unit.</p>
<pre><font color="#4444cc"> void showMethod(IMember member) throws PartInitException, JavaModelException {
ICompilationUnit cu = member.getCompilationUnit();
IEditorPart javaEditor = JavaUI.openInEditor(cu);
JavaUI.revealInEditor(javaEditor, (IJavaElement)member);
}
</font></pre>
<p> The methods <code>openInEditor</code> and <code>revealInEditor</code> also
work for class files and for members contained in class files. </p>
