there are some approaches for this:
- You can open the default system editor for files, see
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#program
- The Browser widget can be used to embed everything for which a browser plug-in is
installed (typically PDF)
- On Windows OLE and ActiveX can be used to embed the Office suite editors, see
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#ole for example code
- The NOA4e project allows to embed OpenOffice in SWT / Eclipse applications, see
http://ubion.ion.ag/solutions/003officeintegrationeditor
- For editing XML files in the application, the editors from the Web Standard Tools
project can be reused, see http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/main.php
Greetings,
Ralf
