The best documentation of all is the source itself. If you load all of the source, you can see how every piece of WB is put together (there are lots of extension points for your convenience). In this case, look at the org.eclipse.wb.core.designPageFactories extension point and the IEditorPage and IEditorPageFactory hierarchies.

Thanks Eric, you are really very helping. I appreciate you for this!

I have already gone through these Interfaces. And I have got the idea how to add my view. But I have found that I need to change existing files of WB as well. I was trying to avoid this type of change. But now I have found another way to incorporate my component in eclipse using Eclipse Views Smile
