Hi

I am in the process of writing a XML related editor as a tool for a
research project, I want to reuse as many component of the Eclipse Java
IDE workspace as much as possible, these probably include the resource,
ide, console view etc packages. Has anyone done something similar
before, whats the best way to replicate the basic functionality and
where to start ? Any links or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks, David

David,

The Web Tools project has an XML editor already. How will your's
differ? Given a XML Schema for your XML syntax, EMF can generate fully
functional integrated editor with just a few button clicks, so that
might be a good way to start:

David,

In that case, the RCP version of the EMF editor might be useful,
although that's designed to avoid using a workspace:

Tutorial: Generating a Rich Client Platform (RCP) Application Using
EMF < http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-EMF-goes-RCP/rcp.htm l>

In any case, it only take a few minutes to generate an EMF editor given
a schema, so it seems like a good starting point if you're new to
Eclipse since there's nothing like a fully functional starting point to
get you off to the races quickly. You might even find you want
graphical views and that GMF will be able to generate those for you...
