Has anybody created a plug-in aware editor? One that understands the syntax
of the plugin.xml file and helps with the editing?

To be honest, I'm not really sure. The extensions tab of the PDE editor
does a great job for what it is, which is pretty much a simple XML editor,
with the ability to add tags and edit them via properties. You can do some
very basic movement of tags, and there are some copy and paste capabilities.
Probably most of what someone would need, really, considering that you're
not likely to do regular wholesale changes to the plug-in.

It might just be nice to have a little more interactive menu builder, say,
with real drag and drop capabilities. I haven't done a ton with plug-ins,
so I'm not the best guy to say, but my guess is that there exists the
possibility of a slightly more graphical representation of a plug-in. I was
just wondering if anybody had tried to do something like that. If not, who
knows? Maybe I'll take a stab at it in my CFT (Copious Free Time).
