Rafael,
Actually you really guessed the right meaning of "resources" :)
I'm developing a graphical tool for modeling software agents, but I have
several editors and I need to keep some consistency beetwen the data in the
editors, the question is: where should I store the information? Does Eclipse
provides me some help to keep it consistent?
-thanks,
Luiz Fernando

Luiz Fernando,
I think for your problem a careful design will be more helpful than any
tool. The strategy I would recommend is to clearly separate UI from model
objects and to make the UI objects (editors/views/actions) share the same
underlying model objects (whatever your domain is). The model objects
store/manage the information, the UI objects allow the user to see and
manipulate it. The UI related frameworks in Eclipse are designed to
support this separation.
Also, depending on how big your system is, I would suggest breaking it
into two or more plug-ins (e.g. one for model objects, another for UI).
And if the model objects can be reused outside Eclipse, you should
consider making their plug-in as less dependent on Eclipse as you can.
Good luck,
Rafael
