Description E Marcu CLA 2006-04-25 10:19:34 EDT 
I tried to open an editor and I got the above error message. The editor ID was the same in the editor extension point in plugin.xml and in the editor class defined as a static member. My openEditor() call has the ID defined in my editor class as parameter. 

So, it was no problem with the editor ID.

However, when I added an icon for my editor, I could open it with no problem. 

The icon doesn't look as being mandatory for an editor, is it? In any case, if it is, the error message should say that instead of the "unknown ID" error. 

Any explanation for this behavior? 

Thank you.
