refactoring GMF document support into platform [message #7999]

it seems to me that large parts of the the GMF support for documents and
document providers can be re-used by all editors that work with
non-textual documents. as such it offers a nice parallel alternative to
the support provided by the document related classes in the
org.eclipse.jface.text package.

it'd be useful if this support were refactored into a separate plugin
which could then be re-used by non GMF editors. are there any plans to
do this? i think there's a good argument that this functionality belongs
in the platform. the jface document support could be viewed as a
generalization that works specifically with text files.

apologies if this has already been suggested.

regards,

al
