In Eclipse Plugin, how can I make standard editor dirty?

Question

I am trying to programatically make an Eclipse editor dirty.

I know that firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY) can do that, on my own editors.

But in this case I am using a standard editor. Can I make any editors dirty (how?) - or does the editor need to support this?

I have a org.eclipse.ui.IPartListener2. From here I want to make the Editor dirty, when I get the partOpened(IWorkbenchPartReference arg0) event.

I have tried to look through simalar questuions in here. But I am stuck.

Any hints?

Found a trick.

IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
try {
    EditorPart ep = (EditorPart) IDE.openEditor( page, iFile );
    IEditorInput input = ep.getEditorInput();
    IDocument doc = ((ITextEditor) ep).getDocumentProvider().getDocument(input);
    doc.set(doc.get());
} catch ( Exception e ) {
    //Put your exception handler here if you wish to
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This will leave the editor dirty.
