RE: [wtp-incubator-dev] Adding Embedded Content/Regions to XML Editor
|
+1 on the proposal to add extensibility to region parsing.
JSF would benefit from the ability to add a region partitioner for #{} and ${} style expression syntax in XML formats other than JSP. We currently register to things like XML_DEFAULT and then do our own parsing, but this can be somewhat inefficient. Especially for things like content assist that expect decent user response (<1s).

Hmmmm....okay....I did see in the HTML editor where it is using
Blockmarkers to set a special marker for the Script and Style tags when
it encounters them. I did see where the HTML editor reuses the
CSSLineStyleProviders in the SourceViewerConfiguration. I'll keep
looking, but it seems that it might be nice to be able to specify to the
SSE editor the ability to know how to handle add partitions and special
regions through an extension point instead of having to hard code that
into a particular editor. The reason I bring this up, is that as I
look forward, to the XQuery support, that is almost like adding a
mixture of PHP and XML together, two entirely different languages, that
combined together make a very powerful language.
Anyways, I'll continue looking and as things calmn down a bit after
3.0M6 is out the door, I'll try and pick Nitin's brain on this.
