Description Jan Koehnlein CLA 2010-08-19 05:19:21 EDT 
It'd be nice if the Xtext editor would open even though the file's URI does not match the resource factory registration. A typical example is if the user enters a file name whose extension has worng case, e.g. Model.mYdSL instead of Model.mydsl: While the Eclipse's editor registry can detect the editor, EMF's resource factory can't. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=322434

We should use an injected IResourceFactory to create the XtextResource in ResourceForIEditorInputFactory. As we are using EMF's default resource factory registry lookup in many other places, e.g. the builder, we'd also need some user feedback if the resource factory registered for a file's URI is the correct one for the file's content.
