You could try to embed a SourceViewer instead of the entire editor - for
example, see what EditTemplateDialog does in the
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor plug-in.
Note that embedding editors (and any other parts) is part of the
components proposal:

Well, that's where you find out the current best guess at what's going
to be released. ;-} Note the item marked "previously committed; recently
deferred". All projects have items that fall off the wagon as it rounds
the final turn. The most reliable indication something will actually be
in is the notation "Work completed."
As I suppose you know, the "good" way to use internal classes is to make
a copy that is as isolated as possible from other internal dependencies.
Then you may survive the first 3.2 milestones long enough to upgrade
gracefully.
BTW, your project won't be proving that "RCP is the way to go". At best
it will show that some future version of RCP might be the way to go. ;-}
But I and many others would like to hear about your results when you try
to apply these futures to an RCP project today.

Finally! I was able to accomplish embedding an editor into a view.
I would like to thank Stephan Xenos for indirectly helping me by providing
an example with this bug.
Here is the link and look at the last example zip since its the latest
version.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46207
You'll notice that the packages aren't the same as what's in the example
and what's in 3.1 but my code below will work in 3.1.
My goal was to embed an editor in the middle of a view and put buttons,
text, etc around the editor because it all had to be contained within one
view.
Now for the code: (NOTE: The classes used are experimental and internal
in 3.1)
import org.eclipse.emf.common.ui.URIEditorInput;
import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control;
import org.eclipse.ui.internal.components.framework.FactoryMap;
import org.eclipse.ui.internal.part.Part;
import
org.eclipse.ui.internal.part.components.services.IWorkbenchP artFactory;
import org.eclipse.ui.internal.part.services.WorkbenchPartFactory;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart;
public class EmbeddedEditorView extends ViewPart {
private Composite top;
private Control editorComposite;
private Composite composite1;
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
top = new Composite(parent, SWT.BORDER);
GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout(1, true);
top.setLayout(gridLayout);
createComposite();
createComposite1();
createComposite2();
}
public void setFocus() {
}
public void createComposite() {
// ... put buttons, text, etc
}
public void createComposite1() {
composite1 = new Composite(top, SWT.NONE);
GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout(1, true);
GridData gridData = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true);
gridData.minimumHeight = 400;
composite1.setLayoutData(gridData);
composite1.setLayout(gridLayout);
String filename =
" file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/DKing/Desktop/sample.txt ";
IWorkbenchPartFactory workbenchPartFactory = new
WorkbenchPartFactory(getSite().getPage());
try {
URI fileURI = URI.createURI(filename);
URIEditorInput editorInput = new URIEditorInput(fileURI);
// MyEditor isn't the real name of my editor just an example.
// MyEditor.ID is defined as a String in MyEditor class and matches the
id of the editor extension in the plugin.xml
Part editorPart = workbenchPartFactory.createEditor(MyEditor.ID,
composite1, editorInput, null, new FactoryMap());
setEditorComposite(editorPart.getControl());
}
catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void setEditorComposite(Control newComposite) {
editorComposite = newComposite;
GridData data = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true);
editorComposite.setLayoutData(data);
composite1.layout(true);
}
public void createComposite2() {
// ... put buttons, text, etc
}
}
I hope this helps anyone else who has wanted to embed an editor in a view,
embed views within a view, or embed a view within an editor. I would also
like to thank Bob and Tom for replying and trying to help. And if you
solve your questions then please post your solutions for the rest of us! :)
