 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:

 I am not writing a general XML editor, its for my own data specification
 in XML format. The RCP would contain algorithms and UI that would assist
 and manage these data.

 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...
