In an eclipse-plugin, you can create an Extention-point on org.eclipse.ui.editors which allows you to plugin internal and external editors (http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_core_runtime_contentTypes.html). An external editor should be of type IEditorLauncher, which has just one method: open(IPath file).

Just a thought, but I'm quite shure eclipse exposes methods/classes that allow you to launch an URL in the system browser, without you having to worry about platform an stuf. If this is available, the only thing you have to do is create a url (http://localhost:8080/activiti-modeler/p/editor?id=…) based on the .oryx.xml file in your custom IEditorLauncher.
