RE: [pde-ui-dev] PDE Editors

We already have a request for this one:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=86730

> support for multiple sources (MultiSourceEditor, InputContext etc.)

I'm not too hopeful about this one.
The concept of InputContext and multiple files open with the same editor is
certainly useful.
However, as generic as the editing models may seem, everything is currently
tied closely to specific PDE models.
It will take a huge effort to come up with a generic model/framework that
will be suitable and useful for every user on earth to use.

Plus, by definition, PDE is in the business of plug-in tooling, and it's
not the right component to start contributing editing models to the
platform.

Wassim.

Hi!

> What aspects of the manifest editor that are not currently
> coming from the already public FormEditor do you like?

- support for multiple sources (MultiSourceEditor, InputContext etc.)
- the generic editing model and it's integration into pages and sections
- generic/abstract parts and sections(i.e.,
org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.parts and corresponding sections)
- support for outline pages

Cu, Gunnar
