Hello,
I would like to manipulate XML files the same way Java source files can be
manipulated via JDT (using the Abstract Syntax Tree - AST). I understood
that there is an XML API in WST that cand be used for this purpose.
Do you know where I could find some documentation on how to use the XML
manipulation API that is included in WST (IStructuredModel, IDOMDocument,
IDOMElement).
Many thanks in advance.
Cristi.

Provisional means it's being considered for API usage. You can use it
as it's been pretty stable for the last 4 years (that's about how long
it's been in provisional status).
Hopefully we can address some of this in the coming releases to remove
the internal.provisional package markers.
So even though it says discouraged access, you can use it, just realize
at some point the package name will probably change when we take it out
of provisional status.
The other way is to not use the IDOMDocument, IDOMElement, etc, unless
you need to and work off the org.w3c.dom interfaces, which the above extend.
