RE: [Wtp-wst-dev] Getting WST XML/DTD/SCHEMA Editor functionality

I'll let the editor teams address your technical questions, but the answer to your legal/licensing question is: Eclipse software is released under the EPL license, the terms of which you can find at

http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php

The short, informal answer is "yes, you are allowed to use Eclipse to build commercial products". More specific answers depend on whether you are constructing derivative works or merely using it by incorporation, etc., for which I refer you to the license terms.**


**My answer does not constitute legal advice or direction from me personally, my employer, or the Eclipse Foundation, and you should seek such advice from a professional without relying on any interpretation in this message.

Subject: [Wtp-wst-dev] Getting WST XML/DTD/SCHEMA Editor functionality

Hi,

I'm interested in developing an Eclipse Plugin supporting the OASIS
standard. As I found the WTP Editors very useful, wrinting an Editor
on my own would be quite stupid. I already checked out some
sourcecode, but as I'm new to SWT (I become feeling comfortable in
SWT) and in Eclipse Plugins, I need your help getting up und running
;-)

My questions:
1) How can I initiate an Editor in an SWT widget (I want it in a
tab of my own plugin, so I would like to start the Editor on my own)

2) Is there a documentation of the WST [XML] DOM, as I need to hold the data and
representation of my document consistent to the Editor, so why not use
the same and extend/link it?

3) I'm not sure how much work this will be and what license this
software is going to be released under. I'm a supporter of Open
Source, but maybe the software will become commercial. Can I integrate (or build
on top of) the WST plugins and include that plugins into my commercial
product (please don't blame as the tool will be aimed on big companies
EDI transfers, so I bet that won't hurt them and anyone else won't
need it ;-).

Thanks a lot!
Dennis
