// * An editor launcher is used to launch external editors on a
// * file in the local file system.
// * <p>
// * Clients should implement this interface to define a new type of editor
// * launcher. Each new launcher must be registered as an editor in the
// * workbench's editor extension point
// * (named <code>"org.eclipse.ui.editors"</code>).
// *
// * For example, the plug-in's XML markup might contain:
// * <pre>
// * &LT;extension point = "org.eclipse.ui.editors"&GT;
// * &LT;editor
// * id="org.eclipse.ui.SwingEditorLauncher"
// * name="Swing Editor"
// * extensions="xml"
// * launcher="org.eclipse.ui.examples.swingeditor.SwingEditorLauncher"
// * icon="icons/xml.gif"&GT;
// * &LT;/editor&GT;
// * &LT;/extension&GT;
// * </pre>
// * </p><p>
// * In this example a launcher has been registered for use with <code>xml</code>
// * files. Once registered, the launcher will appear in the <code>Open With</code>
// * menu for an <code>xml</code> file. If the item is invoked the workbench will
// * create an instance of the launcher class and call <code>open</code> on it,
// * passing the input file.
// * </p>
