Hi,

I accept the fact that there is no split editor in Eclipse. We can use "New
editor" option instead when right-clicking on the header of an editor. And I
also accept that I can not disable it or make it invisible without writing a
whole presentation of my own.

But the behaviour of "New Editor" option is not consistent. If you use Java
Editor or Text Editor, it works perfectly. It is synchronous. When you write
something on any one of the editors, it is immediately written in the other
one. And when you change something and close one of the editors it does not
pop a "Save Resource Co

I think you'd want to do something like that by having the two editors
share a model. Then, using the Data Binding framework would make it
pretty easy to have multiple views on that model. Your model will have
to fire change notification events (like a JavaBean or an EMF model) for
Data Binding to work that way.

Hope this helps,
Eric
