Hi,

I'd like to create an alternative view for the XML schema editor, similar to what this program creates: http://regis.cosnier.free.fr/?page=XSDDiagram
The linked program is open source and I'd try porting the necessary parts from C# to Java.
My question is how I'd go about this. I found out that the source for the XML schema editor is here: https://github.com/eclipse/webtools.sourceediting
Can I realize an additional view for the schema editor in a separate plugin, or do I have to fork the existing one? How do I access the AST for the schema, so I have the necessary information for the diagram?
