Hi @ all!

Anyone knows a nice tutorial how to create a multi page editor, which
edits an xml File like the plugin.xml?

And which eclipse plugin defines the functionality for editing the
plugin.xml?

Thanks in advance

Check with the forms plugin for creating a multipage editor similar what
the plugin.xml provides.

Create a MultiPageEditor class which extends
org.eclipse.ui.forms.editor.FormEditor class. Within this class add the
method

protected void addPages() {
// org.eclipse.ui.forms.editor.FormPage or subclass instances
addPage( /* instance */ );
addPage( /* instance */ );
addPage( /* instance */ );
}

Within each FormPage class override the method

protected void createFormContent(IManagedForm managedForm) {
ScrolledForm form = managedForm.getForm();
FormToolkit toolkit = managedForm.getToolkit();
form.setText( getResourceString( Constants.CONFIG_TITLE ) );
form.setBackgroundImage( getImage(IMG_FORM_BANNER ) );
toolkit.createCompositeSeparator( form );

GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
layout.numColumns = 1;
layout.marginWidth = 10;
form.getBody().setLayout(layout);
}

Hope this helps.
