the GEF is the right path to follow.
I have downloaded GEF SDK and Samples but still have a feeling that I'm
floating around. Can someone point me to a "Create your first textbased GEF
editor" or any similar resource.
Also I appreciate all references to non-spec-type documents regarding GEF.
It's somewhat hard to read java-API's without having any idea on what the
GEF does.
note: I have downloaded and installed the GEF logic example, but there was
no help-guide bundled as the case with JDT.

Are you trying to create an editor that supports text entry? Something like
Microsoft's FrontPage?

Yes, exactly. I don't aim for competing with XMetal, XML Spy or frontpage.
But to create a tailored editor for the DocBook format.

Creating a wysiwyg text document editor is not a small task. This has been
done already in IBM's Page Designer, which uses GEF. However, nothing
reusable has been pushed up into GEF.
You might look at the draw2d.text packages for some simple paragraph and
block support. This package could be extended to support tables, margins,
etc., but this is not in the plan. As far as managing a caret and
range-based selection, there is nothing in GEF for this.

Hmmm, everyone I've been talking to says this will be a huge task or that
it's not that simple. I think I'll just sit tight until someone else
releases the idea! :-\
Thanks for your help anyway!
