Plugin with graphic editor like the one for MANIFEST.MF of many plugins [message #605677]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a plugin which will upload some files in the workspace to a server in a custom format. I have tried with the editor wizard but when i have it, I don't know how to fill it with the components I need.

I have been checking some sources from eclipse (PDE, because its MANIFEST.MF editor is just what I want) but I got loosed in so many files.

I would thank some directions on it, or some tutorial on how to develop a plugin with a graphical UI, not just a text editor.

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 and Java 1.6

Regards,
Antonio

PDE uses the Eclipse Forms API to create it's graphical editors.
